The RBA has delivered a third consecutive rate hike.

Lifting interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.35%

Driven by high inflation and rising fuel prices, this decision pushes borrowing costs higher, directly affecting mortgages and savings rates.

If you’ve got a loan, it could be good to review your rate and structure. Reach out.

The Reserve Bank has increased the cash rate by 0.25% to 4.1%, as inflation remains above the 2–3% target range.

This outcome was largely expected heading into the decision, although it was a close call — with five board members voting to raise rates and four voting to hold.

Why the move:

• Inflation is still sitting elevated
• Energy and fuel prices have surged globally
• The economy is still showing limited spare capacity

What this typically means:

• Variable mortgage rates will increase
• Repayments rise (≈ +$90/month per $600k loan as a guide)
• Borrowing capacity may tighten slightly

The RBA has delivered its first rate hike in over two years, lifting the cash rate to 3.85%.

The hike has been driven by a combination of a stickier than expected inflation and a labour market that has remained tighter than many predicted.

The RBA has held the cash rate at 3.60% today, which was widely expected.

Following the decision, the RBA’s statement read: “While inflation has fallen substantially since its peak in 2022, it has picked up more recently.”

The board’s judgement is that some of the recent increase in underlying inflation was due to temporary factors and there is uncertainty about how much signal to take from the monthly CPI data given it is a new data series.

The next cash rate meeting will be held in February 2026….

We’re growing the Auspak team and looking for an exceptionally organised, detail-focused Admin / Client Support person to join us.

You’ll play a key role in helping our clients have a smooth, stress-free finance journey — managing applications from submission to settlement, coordinating with lenders, solicitors and agents, and keeping everything running seamlessly behind the scenes.

If you love structure, staying on top of moving parts, and being the person everyone can rely on, we’d love to chat. This is a great opportunity to grow within a high-performing, fast-paced mortgage broking business.

In the middle is Craig Thorn — the godfather of mortgage broking. He taught us the craft at the highest level, and now that he’s stepped back from the business, we’ve taken Auspak into a new era: digital-first, faster systems, and a sharper client experience than ever.

If you’re someone who thrives on organisation and wants to be part of a tight, supportive team, send us a message.

💰 RBA Holds Steady at 3.60% 🐎

In line with expectations, the Reserve Bank of Australia has kept the cash rate unchanged at 3.60%.

The decision signals a cautious stance, with inflation ticking higher in the September quarter and housing demand remaining strong through spring.

There’s one more RBA meeting left this year - set for 9 December. Stay tuned…..
