Just like to add,
my private health extra's did not cover my hair prothesis (required a 6 month waiting period for $150 only),
but I did read in a brochure, that as above - get a letter from your doctor stating your "Requirement" for a hair prothesis (not a suggestion) and that you include it with your medical costs on your taxation for that financial year of purchase.
I will be following this up with my neice at a large accounting firm in the next month or so that I can be super confident about this. I would also recommend keeping all your receipts, as you never know what else you maybe able to claim like transport or membership fees.
Wish there was a proper guide for this from the ATO or one of the cancer organisations, as all the $$$ certainly add up over time of treatment.
