Before refinancing it is important to calculate the cost of refinancing.
You will need to take into account exit and entry fees.

fee: Can be anything from $50 to $400 depending on the
lender.
Deferred establishment fee - Usually
payable if you refinance your loan within the first 5 years. This
largely depends on the lender.

Generally nil to $700 depending on the lender. This
includes legal, valuation and other upfront costs incurred by a lender
Mortgage Stamp Duty:
This may or may not have to be paid again, but you could have to
pay up-front and have your lender apply for a refund on your behalf. In
most cases you have to pay the stamp duty again, unless everything is
the same, i.e. the same names and the same security property. Mortgage
Stamp Duty is not applicable in Victoria, ACT and NT
Lenders Mortgage
Insurance: This may be paid again if your loan amount
is greater than 80% of the properties value for fully verified
applicants or 60% for low documentation applicants. You may be able to
apply for a rebate from your current lender if your loan is less than a
