Patient information

Do i need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No. Podiatrists are first contact practitioners so you may book in without a referral from your GP.  Depending on your pain or condition, your podiatrist may contact your doctor or other health professionals to ensure you are receiving the appropriate assistance you need for your recovery.

Do you have hicaps and eftpos facilities?

Yes. We have HICAPS and EFTPOS facilities on-site so you can claim directly from your private health fund. Please contact your private health fund for more information about the podiatry and orthotic rebates you may be eligible for.

​Note: To claim on the spot health rebates, you must present your health insurance card at the time of payment. Alternatively, an invoice can be issued to allow for self-claiming through your private health provider.

what should i bring to the appointment?

Please bring any referrals/paperwork (relevant for Return to Work SA, Chronic Disease Management plans, DVA or MVA claims) or scans such as X-Rays, Ultrasounds and MRI's related to your condition.

Are podiatry appointments covered under medicare?

In most cases, a referral is not needed to see a podiatrist. However, certain patients such as those with Department of Veterans Affairs cards and Medicare Care Plans and EPC’s will need referrals from their GP.
