Do I Need a Referral?
No. You don’t need a referral to book an appointment with a Podiatrist.
Do I need to bring anything to my first appointment?
It always assists your Podiatrist if you bring your regularly used footwear (casual shoes, football boots, running shoes, work boots etc).
Previous medical reports and imaging results are very useful as well.

All appointments are 30 minutes long.
Can I use my Private Health Insurance?
It’s always best to check with your insurance provider first.
But if you are covered for Podiatry you can claim on the day using our HICAPS terminal.
