No, you do not require a referral to book in with a podiatrist. However, if you have a referral please bring it with you to the appointment.
Veterans’ Affairs, WorkCover, TAC and EPC (Medicare) patients do require a referral to access the funding for podiatric treatment.
At your initial consultation, the podiatrist will ask you a series of questions to determine the history of your complaint and goals of therapy. The podiatrist will also complete a physical examination of your feet and lower limb to determine the causes/contributing factors of the main presenting concern.
If you have had any investigations, including x-rays, MRIs, CTs or blood tests, please bring copies of these results with you. Also make sure you bring a few samples of the shoes you wear most frequently and any orthotics you may currently be using.

Yes. all patients must settle their account on the day of their consultation. Cash, cheques, EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard and bankcard are accepted. WorkCover/TAC patients will be given the required paperwork to claim back their expenses.
If you fail to attend an appointment or make a late cancellation (within 12 hours of your appointment time), you may be charged a fee. If you fail to attend your appointment, it means other people may miss out on getting essential treatment, so please give us plenty of notice if you need to make a change.
Yes, we do treat WorkCover and TAC patients. Initial consults will be charged private fees and will need to claim the cost of consultations back from their employer, WorkCover insurer or the TAC. This may result in a gap between our fees and the amount refunded by the employer, WorkCover insurer or the TAC.
Use the “contact us” page on this website. However, we will not discuss treatments via email.
