Move without pain
Book an appointmentA General Practitioner referral to see one of our practitioners is only necessary if:
If you have been referred by another health professional, any paperwork and relevant scans or x-rays relating to your ailment would be helpful. We also encourage you to bring the pair of shoes you wear most often so we can check them for wear patterns.
Generally speaking, allied health services are not covered by Medicare. The exception to this is if your GP determines you require Chronic Disease Management (formerly Enhanced Primary Care or EPC). In this case, you may be covered for up to 5 visits per year to an allied health provider, including podiatry. Please speak to your GP for further information.
Unfortunately, current rebates do not allow us to offer bulk-billed services. If you have a referral from your GP as part of a Team Care Arrangement under the Chronic Disease Management system, then we charge you the appointment cost and apply the Medicare rebate on your behalf. In most instances, there is a minimal out-of-pocket cost.
If you are eligible for DVA funding, we bill DVA directly for services.
The majority of patients will experience no pain at all in a general consultation. Our practitioners use non invasive techniques to treat you as comfortably as possible.

In certain cases, your GP can refer you to a podiatrist under a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) plan. This is only available for certain chronic conditions so please consult with your GP.
When you arrive for your consultation your podiatrist will discuss your concerns with you in detail. This will be followed by a physical examination of the area of concern and you will be guided through a series of simple and quick tests. Your podiatrist will then share the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan which may commence straight away or be scheduled for a future appointment.
This differs depending on the location. Please refer to the specific clinic page under locations for details.
We ask that you cancel as early as possible to allow us to time to reschedule your appointment. Repeated cancellations at short notice may incur a cancellation fee.
