Principal – Tax | Melbourne & Sydney Office
At DPM, we’re on a mission to help doctors achieve their financial goals to support a vibrant career and lifestyle.
How it all started
It’s a great story. Two accounting students help their medical student friends with their accounting needs.
As those medical students progress their studies and careers, the financial advice they need becomes more specific.
Word quickly spreads and the bright idea for medical financial advice is born.
Almost 60 years later, DPM has helped thousands of medical professionals throughout every stage of their career.

A brief history of DPM’s journey to date
New Brand Identity & Melbourne Office
We revealed our new brand identity and moved into our amazing new office in Melbourne, celebrating how far we have come as Australia’s leading financial advice partner for medical professionals.
Fresh Business Approach & Leadership Changes
We embarked on a bold new journey with a fresh and agile approach to business. We welcomed a dynamic female CEO, a visionary board member and nine passionate shareholders who joined us in creating a lasting impact through innovation.
Embracing Hybrid Working
We embraced hybrid working enabling our teams to work flexibly and collaboratively from the space that best suits their work day.
DPM Partners with 1Group Property Advisory
To provide our Sydney clients with comprehensive property advocacy services, DPM partnered with 1Group Property Advisory. This relationship gave DPM clients access to expert advice on buying and selling residential and commercial property in any market across Australia.
Launch of MedMeet Online Event
We launched MedMeet, an annual online event that connects and empowers medical students with clinical education and real-life experiences from their peers across Australia.
Creation of the Medical Student Hub
We created the Medical Student Hub, a unique online resource that helps medical students navigate their journey through medical school and beyond, with videos, tools, and Fred, our virtual Doctor’s Journey Expert.
Digital Transformation of Tax & Accounting Services
We transformed our Tax & Accounting Service with digitalisation, enhancing our efficiency and service quality. We continued to embrace technology and innovation to reshape the way we work and deliver value to our clients.
Adoption of Sustainable Business Practices
We adopted a sustainable approach to business, driven by real and direct action. Our Melbourne headquarters became 100% Green Power Certified and we made every decision based on sustainable outcomes. We understood that working towards a better tomorrow starts with us today.
Expansion to Sydney & Introduction of Property Advocacy
As our business continued to grow, we expanded our footprint and established a new office in Sydney. This move enabled us to serve our NSW based clients more effectively and efficiently, as well as reach new medical professional clients around Australia. We also introduced Property Advocacy as a specialised service, to help our clients make informed property decisions as part of their financial strategies and lifestyle goals.
Innovation & Portfolio Expansion
We innovated to meet the growing needs of medical professionals by adding lending and legal services to our portfolio. Our expertise and capacity enabled us to assist our clients in reaching their long-term goals with timely, pragmatic, and relevant advice.
Building a Reputation as a Trusted Market Leader
We built a reputation as a trusted market leader by putting ourselves in the shoes of doctors. We understood their workload, their pressure, and their career lifecycle. We helped them meet their financial challenges with personalised solutions and support.
The Birth of DPM
Our story began with a simple idea from two accounting students: to help their friends in medicine with their accounting needs. As these doctors in training progressed in their studies and careers, they needed more than just general financial advice. They needed specialised guidance tailored to their unique challenges and opportunities. Thus the idea for DPM as we know it was born as we decided to focus on providing financial services exclusively for medical professionals. That was almost 60 years ago. Since then, we have helped thousands of doctors achieve their financial goals at every stage of their career.

I had the pleasure of having Naomi assist me with a home loan for as long as it took! Throughout a very stressful and unfamiliar process Naomi was present to walk me through all the steps required. We re-evaluated at any stage which bank would be more suitable for myself and she answered all my questions with skill and kindess. Many thanks to Naomi!

I have been using DPM for several years now and have excellent experiences with all team members that I have interacted with. Eyal our lending consultant has been invaluable in my wife and I purchasing our last 2 properties, we even received positive feedback from the conveyancer and real estate agent in regard to promptness and responses. Sonal has always kept us up to date with our insurance to ensure we are adequately protected. And last, but not last, Anthony has been incredibly helpful as our accountant in aiding us with managing our taxes and finances as a whole as I moved from salaried position to a sole trader.

One of DPM's lending consultants Marissa Tzivakis helped me find a loan recently. I'm so very grateful for the work she did. She listened, understood the challenges (and the stress), came up with some great options in lightning quick time, and followed me through until it was sorted out. I really can't recommend her highly enough - not to mention the work of financial advisor Michael Blood and his team who've been looking after me for more than 15 years, and turned up exactly when I needed them

My partner and I are both medical practitioners and have been customers of DPM for 10 years now. We have used the financial services section on 2 occasions and found their communication to be prompt and clear, financial advice sound (maybe on the conservative side, but this could be considered a positive), and ultimately are very satisfied with our finance outcomes.

Danha from DPM assisted with buying my first home - my situation was unusual and she was incredible throughout. She had the patience of a saint with my disorganisation and delays and really went into bat to get me the best arrangement possible specific to my needs. She drove the process and turned things around when I was letting the ball slide. I could not recommend her more highly.

Consultant Danha Ngo was very professional and kind. She guided me through the process of acquiring my home loan and made the process very easy.
Ali Baker
12:16 26 Jan 22
Danha Ngo is an outstanding lending consultant who went above and beyond when helping me purchase my first home! I was very hesitant at first to get a lending consultant but Danha was very knowledgable and able to get me the best variable rate on my home loan within such a short period of time. She was very honest, and educated me on reviewing all documents and walking me step by step through the entire process even though I asked 100's of questions. Responded very promptly to emails and phone calls, making my first home purchase very easy and hassle free. If you're looking for an expert in her field who knows how to navigate her way around home loans to get you the best deals and to expedite loans, then I cannot recommend her enough and will be using her again in the future. 10/10 service!

DPM has provided professional & seamless assistance for us on two services: as a mortgage broker (thank you Danha), and with arranging life & income insurance (thank you Tom R). They've helped prevent us getting bogged-down in paperwork and policy, and have made arranging a home loan & life insurance a breeze. Going further down the line, I'll definitely be planning to use their services again.

William Indrawan and his team were very extremely helpful in helping me with my taxes - they were professional, efficient and very knowledgeable. It would have taken me so much time and dedicated research to find out what deductions you are allowed for your taxes as a medical doctor, especially coming from another country. The service was very personalized and such a pleasant personal interaction. And yes, I had a good tax return! Thank you!

I have been with DPM for a couple of years. I first started by meeting my now accountant Anthony Pane and he has been wonderful in every single way.

Everybody in the team has been great and very helpful. Definitely recommend 👍

I have been a client of DPM for almost 2 years now, and they are a fantastic team that really do give you bang for your buck!My acountant has helped me navigate through the complex world of salary packaging, and has been excellent in completing tax returns each year. He doesn't just "do my taxes," he explains things and helps me understand concepts myself so as to calm the stress levels. When I wanted to apply for a home loan I was directed to a Lending Consultant who has been nothing short of brilliant. They are efficient, they are helpful and they are extremely approachable. I don't know how much money I would have wasted had I not had DPM's guidance. Definitely worth it!
