Podiatry FAQs
What happens during my first podiatry appointment?
At your first appointment, your podiatrist will take the time to understand your concerns, medical history and goals before completing a thorough assessment of your foot and lower limb health. Depending on your needs, this may include assessing your movement, gait, footwear, skin and nails. They’ll explain their findings, discuss appropriate treatment options and provide treatment where indicated. Together, you’ll develop a personalised management plan with practical advice to support your foot health, comfort and mobility.
Do I need a referral?
No – you can book a private podiatry appointment without a referral.
Can I claim on private health insurance or Medicare?
Yes! If your private health insurance includes podiatry under extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate on the spot. The amount you receive will depend on your health fund and level of cover.
We also accept GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) referrals, which may entitle eligible patients to Medicare rebates for up to five allied health services per calendar year. Concession card holders with a valid referral may also be eligible for a reduced gap fee.
If you’re unsure about your eligibility or out-of-pocket costs, our friendly team can help clarify these before your appointment.
Do you accept ReturnToWorkSA, Motor Vehicle Accident insurance and DVA referrals?
Yes – we accept podiatry referrals for ReturnToWorkSA, motor vehicle accident and other eligible third-party insurance claims, as well as Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) clients.
For insurance claims, please bring your claim number, insurer details and your case manager’s contact information to your first appointment.
For DVA appointments, you’ll need a valid referral from your GP. If you’re unsure about your eligibility or the documentation required, our friendly team can assist before your appointment.
