Treatment of lower limb conditions resulting from bone and joint disorders such as arthritis, muscular, neurological and circulatory disorders.

Podiatrists are primary contact practitioners, meaning that you can visit one without a referral from your GP.
However, if you are being treated through Workers’ Compensation, Chronic Disease Management, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) or Compulsory Third Party Insurance after a car accident, then please bring your GP’s referral to your initial appointment.

• Skin and Nail Care • Ingrown Toenail Surgery • Corns and Callus Management • Diabetic Complication Management • Neurovascular Assessment and Conservative Management • Wound Care • Biomechanical Assessments • Musculoskeletal Injuries • Orthotic Prescription • Conservative Management of Bunions • Offloading/ Taping Techniques • Footwear Assessments and Education • Appropriate Podiatric Education
