Frequently Asked Questions
Can Darwin nurses claim travel from home to the hospital?
Standard commuting is private. However, travel is deductible if you are on official on-call standby and have to travel to an emergency, or when travelling between two separate medical facilities on the same day.
Are CPR certification and mandatory training deductible?
Yes. Recertification courses like Advanced Life Support (ALS), CPR, and continuing professional development (CPD) directly related to your current role are deductible.
Do agency nurses qualify for motor vehicle deductions?
Yes. Agency nurses visiting multiple private clients or remote community clinics can claim vehicle expenses using the 85c/km method or a compliant 12-week logbook.
