I cant think of any other expenses relating to going back to work, other than those listed...definately childcare fees and travel costs are the two biggies for us.

I find the idea of going back to work while my baby is in care quite frightening, financial-wise. I was working full time up until 2 weeks before my daughter was born, and I have sussed out the local childcare centres to find they are charging an average of $80 per day for children under 2.. some places even charging $110/day. Who can afford this, on top of all the other expenses relating to work as well as just general living costs.
