The Night Shift Debrief Part 2 – Advanced Deductions and Myth-Busting


Listen Later

Nurses and midwives β€” clock back on, it's time for your tax second opinion! 🩺


In Part 1 we covered the basics. Now Mia and Leo are back on the ward for the night shift debrief, separating the deductions you're genuinely entitled to from the tearoom myths that quietly cost you money every single year.


First, a quick handover from Episode 12 β€” the ATO's three golden rules, car and travel, your uniform, and salary packaging. Then we get into the advanced stuff.


In this episode, we run the obs on:


🚫 The Big Myths, Busted: Why your gym membership, the plain tees under your scrubs, your required flu shots, childcare, and "just checking the roster on your phone" are NOT deductible β€” no matter how unfair it feels.

πŸ‘Ÿ Protective vs Conventional: The fine line that makes your non-slip shoes claimable but your everyday socks a private expense.

πŸŽ“ Self-Education: When a course actually counts (hint: it has to relate to the job you're doing now, not the one you want next).

πŸ’Έ The Deductions Nurses Forget: Your AHPRA registration, annual practising certificate, union and association fees, agency commissions, gear like your stethoscope and fob watch, and professional journals.

βͺ Missed Claims in the Past? You may be able to amend previous years' returns and get that money back.
