In the lead-up to the end of financial year, the ATO announce the areas they will be focusing on in this year's tax returns. This does not mean that all other areas are a free-for-all though.
Rental properties, including AirBNBs are one area for additional caution, along with claiming working-from-home expenses.
Keeping full documentation of your deductions is recommended to avoid an amendment being issued by the ATO.

A reduction in the tax rates from 1st July is one step closer to being legislated.
The changes currently proposed will reduce the tax rates for any Australian residents earning over $18,200.
The "right to disconnect" is another positive change for employees, while not tax related it's still worth having a read over.
Stage 3 cuts to pass House, Senate green lights ‘right to disconnect’ Revised tax cuts will pass the House of Representatives while the Senate has passed IR reforms including the right to disconnect and casual conversion rights.
My office will be closed for Australia Day Friday 26 January, have a lovely day.
