We have drawn on this experience to develop a tried and tested roadmap that helps medical professionals achieve their financial goals throughout their career.

Some of the questions we commonly answer include:

  • Can I claim home expenses?
  • I need a new car, how do I pay for it?
  • What do I need to know about superannuation?
  • Should I be aiming to buy a home or buy shares?
  • How do I make my savings work harder?
  • Does Salary Packaging mean I have a HECS bill?

We answer these questions and more, while keeping your personal circumstances in mind, and constructing optimal strategies for you.

We tailor our guidance around your needs at each particular stage of your life and career, including advising on salary packaging, tax, budgeting and insurance.

Working with you on your finances through your intern year - and beyond

At your initial intern financial meeting with us, we will explain the key points for you to consider in order to ensure you're properly set up for financial success during your first year of work as an intern, and into your future. In particular we will discuss salary packaging and offer some general advice.

Salary Packaging

How salary packaging works, how to make the most of this government benefit and the importance of setting your account up early.

If you set up and manage your salary packaging effectively, you can save thousands of dollars of income tax. Our specialist Wealth Health intern package offers the option to opt-in to Walshs salary packaging service for an additional fee. This option includes the setup and management of your salary packaging account to ensure you maximise your tax savings.

Tax return

How to increase your tax savings and what to expect from your first tax return.

Often your internship year is the first year you will have been required to lodge a tax return. Our specialist medical accounting team are experts at maximising your tax savings. Our team will explore all the available tax deductions to ensure you're getting the best possible tax refund.
