What can nurses and health workers claim on tax?

Plenty — uniforms and laundry, AHPRA and registration renewals, professional memberships and indemnity insurance, self-education and CPD, and work phone use. The rule is you paid for it, it relates to earning your income, and you weren't reimbursed. We go through it line by line so nothing's missed.

Can I claim my registration and union fees?

Generally yes — AHPRA registration renewals, professional association memberships and union fees are usually deductible when they relate to your work and you paid them yourself. Same goes for indemnity insurance. We'll sort what applies to your situation.

How much does a health worker tax return cost?

A fixed price, told to you up front — no surprise bill. It depends on how much is going on in your return. Grab an estimate on our pricing page or book a quick chat and we'll quote you properly.

Uniforms, registration, CPD — caring for people costs you money too

Health workers give a lot, and a fair chunk of what you spend to keep doing the job is deductible. Between uniforms and laundry, AHPRA renewals, memberships, indemnity cover and the CPD you’re expected to keep up, it adds up fast. We know what a nurse, doctor or allied health professional in Bendigo can legitimately claim, so you get back what you’re owed without waving a red flag at the ATO.

What health workers can usually claim

Uniforms, scrubs and protective clothing — plus the laundry of them
AHPRA and registration renewals to keep you practising
Professional memberships and indemnity insurance
Self-education, CPD, courses and work-related conferences
Work-related car travel between sites or patients (not the normal trip to work)
Work phone, and a share of any work-related equipment

Straight from the ATO

The tax office publishes official occupation guides for health workers — worth a look, and it’s exactly the kind of thing we go through with you line by line.

Why not just do it yourself?

You can — but a 15-minute chat with someone who does health worker returns all day usually pays for itself. We ask the questions myGov doesn’t, catch the claims you’d miss, and make sure it’s all backed up if the ATO ever asks. No suits, plain English, and we’ll tell you the price first.
