What We Can Help With
General Podiatry Care
Routine nail and skin care, including treatment of corns, calluses, and cracked heels. We also offer safe and effective nail surgery (Partial Nail Avulsion) for recurring or infected ingrown toenails, performed under local anaesthetic at our clinic.
Biomechanical Assessments
Pain in your feet, ankles, knees or hips? We’ll assess how your body moves and functions to find the root cause of your discomfort.
This 40–50 minute appointment includes range of motion testing and gait analysis to create a tailored plan, which may include orthotics, rehab, stretching/strengthening, dry needling, or shockwave therapy.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Our podiatrists work closely with our physio team to help you recover from sports-related injuries affecting the feet and lower limbs. We’ll guide your rehab with targeted exercises and hands-on treatment to get you back in action.
Shockwave Therapy
An advanced, non-invasive treatment that helps repair tendon and soft tissue injuries without surgery or medication. It’s ideal for long-term conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and heel pain.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets tight or painful muscles in your lower limbs. By placing fine needles into “trigger points,” we help relieve tension, reduce pain, and support healing. It’s a modern, effective treatment that pairs well with other therapies.

Private health funds do cover ancillary health services that include podiatry. Whether your cover includes podiatry will depend on the level of cover that you have with your provider. Whether you are eligible to claim back your podiatry charges will depend on the scope of your insurance coverage.
Podiatry is considered an allied health profession by the Australian government and as a consequence, Medicare rebates are generally not available for visits to a podiatrist. For patients with chronic diseases and complex care needs there may be eligibility for a Medicare rebate. For Medicare benefits to be payable for podiatry services, a patient must be referred to a podiatrist by a GP. There are frequency limits to the number of visitations available however.
Whilst we do accept Veterans Affairs claims, your coverage will depend on the type of card you have. For Veterans with a Gold Card, you will be completely covered for all podiatry services. For Veterans with a White Card, DVA will fund podiatry services if they are required because of an accepted war or service-related injury or disease. We recommend speak with DVA prior to a consultation to identify your level of entitlement. We will need a referral letter from your GP in order to claim through DVA.
