Frequently Asked Questions

What does Podiatry help with?

Foot and lower‑limb care. We assess pain, load, gait, skin/nail issues, and footwear. We can coordinate with Physio and EP to support balance, strength, and safe mobility for home, work, and community.

Do you provide orthotics and load‑management plans?

Yes—when suitable. We assess your needs, discuss options, and coordinate exercises with Physio/EP so footwear and strength work together. We review to ensure comfort and function improve over time.

Is Podiatry covered under NDIS or DVA?

Often, yes. Where foot care affects function or safety, we’ll navigate eligibility and map appointments and reviews in your Optimum Roadmap, coordinating with your team.

Do I need a referral for Podiatry?

Not for private sessions. For Medicare EPC/CDM rebates, your GP prepares a plan and referral; some insurers or schemes may require specific paperwork. We’ll help you navigate it.

How do you coordinate Podiatry with other services?

Via case conferences. Podiatry links with Physio, EP, and Dietetics where needed (e.g., diabetes care), so supports are consistent and easy to follow.
