Frequently Asked Questions

Support workers can claim deductions for work-related uniforms, safety gear, travel between clients, self-education, phone/internet use, and consumables like hand sanitiser or stationery. You must keep valid receipts and records to support your claims.

Yes! Travel between client appointments is tax-deductible, unlike commuting from home to your main workplace. Use a logbook or the ATO’s cents-per-kilometre method (up to 5,000 km annually) to calculate your eligible travel expenses.

Only meals consumed while accompanying a client during work-related activities (e.g., community outings) may be claimable. Personal lunches or takeaway meals during breaks are considered private expenses and are not deductible.

Yes. If you use your phone or internet for work—such as client calls, coordination, or admin—you can claim a portion of your bill. Track work-related usage over a 4-week period to estimate your annual deduction.

Yes, if you personally pay for mandatory checks like the NDIS Worker Screening or Working with Children Check (WWCC) and are not reimbursed by your employer, these costs are deductible.

You can claim compulsory uniforms with logos, protective gear (like gloves or aprons), and related laundry costs. Everyday clothing—even if worn to work—is not tax-deductible unless it's specific and required by your employer.

Yes. If the course directly relates to your current support role (e.g., mental health training or aged care upskilling), it is claimable. However, initial qualifications, like a basic first-aid certificate to enter the field, are usually not deductible.

If you work from home for admin tasks or reports, you can claim home office expenses. Use the ATO’s fixed rate method (80 cents per hour) or actual cost method for internet, phone, and office supplies.

You must keep valid records such as receipts, invoices, or logbooks. Use the ATO myDeductions app to track expenses easily. All records must be kept for at least five years in case of an audit.

Yes! The fees you pay to a tax accountant or agent for preparing your tax return are fully deductible on your next year’s tax return.
