Many Melbourne doctors overpay tax simply because common, legitimate deductions go unclaimed. Understanding the full range of tax deductions for doctors is one of the simplest ways to keep more of what you earn.
Frequently Overlooked Deductions
- Continuing medical education (CME) costs, travel, and conference fees
- Medical registration, college fees, and indemnity insurance premiums
- Professional subscriptions, journals, and medical equipment
- Home office expenses for telehealth or administrative work
- Superannuation contributions, including additional concessional contributions
- Vehicle and travel expenses between practice locations or hospitals across Melbourne

The deductions available to you often depend on whether you operate as an employee, a contracted doctor, or a practice owner — and whether PSI rules apply to your income.
