Experience and professionalism is the key for the team at Specsavers Geraldton. With over 30 years of experience between them, Optometrist Director Jacques Breytenbach and Dispensing Director Richard Reynolds have tested the eyes of more than 8570 patients and dispensed over 14,490 pairs of glasses since opening the Geraldton store in 2013.
At Specsavers Geraldton there are over 1,000 frame styles to choose from with complete glasses starting from just $39 and unlike some other optometrists, Specsavers offers bulk billing on eye tests, so there are no out of pocket expenses to the customer. Specsavers also offers designer ranges that start at two pairs from $199 and include local and international designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Alex Perry and Collette Dinnigan.
“Specsavers brings fashionable and affordable eye care to the Geraldton community. Specsavers’ collaborations with leading fashion designers including Alex Perry and Collette Dinnigan mean that style doesn’t have to be compromised for affordability,” says Richard.
The Geraldton store also offers customers free contact lens consultations and fittings to ensure customers are matched with the right contact lenses for their needs. Customers who purchase contact lenses from Specsavers are also entitled to aftercare at no extra cost.
The store is pleased to show their support for the local community by being part of the Specsavers Community Program. Through this initiative Specsavers Geraldton donates money out of their own pocket from each pair of glasses sold to The Fred Hollows Foundation and their local charity of choice the Parkerville Children and Youth Care.
“We are so pleased to have donated such a significant sum of money to local charities. We want our store’s donations to go towards something we have a real passion for, and the Fred Hollows Foundation and charities Parkerville Children and Youth Care tick all of the boxes” says Jacques.
The store conveniently tests Mondays through to Saturdays and regardless of whether or not you wear glasses, optical professionals recommend that everyone, including children, have an eye test every two years.

Since the commencement of motor vehicle expense substantiation, taxpayers have had four methods by which they could substantiate their car expense deductions:
As of 1 July 2015, the “12% of original value method” and “one third of actual expense method” has been withdrawn. This leaves the “cents per kilometre” and the “log book” method available to substantiate car expenses and be able to claim a deduction.
Workplace Motor Vehicle Expenses
It should be notes that there is no change to claiming deductions for “work” vehicles. Claims for work related use of vehicles such as vans and utilities with a carrying capacity of at least one tonne will not be effected by these changes.
Cents per Kilometre
The “cents per kilometre method” is limited to a maximum of 5,000 kilometres per year. Any taxpayer who travels more than 5,000 kilometres in a financial year could be financial disadvantaged if they do not have a compliant log book for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
Guidelines to ensure your log book is compliant
To have a compliant log book, the following steps must be adhered to;
We urge all taxpayers to discuss the motor car substantiation options with their accountant, as each taxpayer’s circumstances are different.
Should you have any queries or would like more information, please contact the Geraldton office on 9920 7400.
