Key advice includes waiting at least three weeks before lodging to allow the ATO system to pre-populate information, avoiding double-dipping on deductions like working-from-home expenses and mobile phone claims, and keeping proper records of all deductions.

    Breakthrough drug offers hope for motor neuron disease
    Jul 3 2026
    Australian researchers have developed a breakthrough drug that could transform motor neuron disease from a fatal condition into a manageable chronic illness. The drug targets the brain's immune system to slow the inflammation process that causes rapid disease progression, potentially extending life expectancy beyond the current two to five years. The announcement coincides with Jai July, a fundraising initiative supporting NRL star Jai Arrow who was recently diagnosed with MND, and builds on research funded by the late Neale Daniher's Fight MND Foundation.
