A podiatrist is a university qualified, licenced healthcare practitioner who can assess, diagnose, manage, and treat diseases affecting the feet and lower limbs.

A doctor's referral is not necessary to see a podiatrist. Although if a doctor has referred you please make sure you bring a copy of the referral letter to your next appointment.

Your initial appointment at Feet First Podiatry will last 40 minutes. This time gives your podiatrist the chance to carefully examine you, comprehend your needs, and appropriately diagnose your condition.

During this session, we will also create a thorough treatment plan that will help you to reach your objective as quickly as possible.

The frequency and number of visits will be determined by the nature of the condition being treated. Both treatment and general foot care can vary greatly, but following an initial visit, your podiatrist will be able to give you with a framework.

Private health insurance does cover health treatments such as podiatry. The amount of coverage you have with your provider will determine whether or not your coverage includes podiatry.

We have a Hicaps card machine at the clinic, which means that if you bring your private health card with you to your visit, we can scan and claim from them on the spot.

We take all Visa and Mastercard credit cards, HICAPS, cash payments, and AMEX.

If you have diabetes, it is suggested that you have your feet evaluated by a podiatrist at least once a year. Diabetes can cause ulcers and other complications such as gangrene, and it is critical to detect these issues early.

Yes, we do treat children on a regular basis. Children make up a sizable portion of our clientele.

The Australian government considers podiatry to be an allied health profession, and as a result, Medicare rebates are often not available for visits to a podiatrist.

A Chronic Disease Management Plan (EPC) is accessible for people with chronic conditions who require complex management. This government-sponsored program allows individuals with chronic conditions to access podiatrist treatments with part of the consultation fee subsidised through the Medicare rebate. Consult your doctor to check whether you are qualified.

Please bring any referrals or letters from doctors, past x-rays or scans, and a current list of medicines if relevant. Any previously issued orthoses, as well as any footwear you often use, are also quite beneficial.
