You can claim CPAP machines for sleep apnoea - we claimed ours last year.

Can you claim OTC mediciation (iron supplements) for a ongoing medical condition. We end up getting a lot of stuff like that for my DD directly linked to her medical condition and was under the guidance of a doctor - is that considered theraputic?

would have to check with ATO Yael - but i "think" it has to be prescription medication. if it turns out that it is, ask the doc to prescribe it and make sure the pharmacy process it as a script from now on. i know i've been given scripts and been told that it's available OTC so i've pushed to get it on prescription as it counts towards PBS limits, what i can claim from PHI and what i can claim from the ATO for net medical expenses...

If it is caused by your work you probably should have gone through work cover and it wouldn't of cost you a cent

Wasnt specifically caused by work just annoying pains i had previously; back is great now, wouldnt look back but just thought i may be able to claim it on Tax ... ah well hehe
