Allied health (physio, OT, podiatry) - R&D Tax Benchmark
What proportion of total business expenses do Australian allied health (physio, ot, podiatry) typically claim as R&D under the RDTI?
What drives R&D intensity in this sector
Allied health is overwhelmingly service delivery. Eligible R&D usually means a digital tool, novel exercise protocol with formal measurement, or a custom device.
Sector disclaimer
Patient consultations and standard rehabilitation protocols are commercial-as-usual. Material R&D allocations generally indicate a product or platform built alongside the clinic.
ATO & AusIndustry context
Customary clinical practice is excluded; documented experiments with measurable outcomes may qualify.
