What does a podiatrist or chiropodist do?

A podiatrist, previously known as a chiropodist, is a healthcare professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and preventing problems related to the feet, ankles, and lower legs. They treat foot pain (plantar fasciitis, heel pain, Sever's disease), skin concerns (calluses, corns, warts), sports injuries (ankle sprains, stress fractures), nail problems (ingrown toenails, fungal infections), diabetic foot care, and deformities such as bunions and flat feet.

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No referral is required to book a standard podiatry appointment at Expert Foot Care. However, if you have a GP Management Plan (GPMP) or Team Care Arrangement (TCA), you may be eligible for Medicare-rebated podiatry consultations. Contact us to discuss your eligibility.

Does Expert Foot Care accept private health insurance?

Yes, we offer on-the-spot claiming for most private health insurance funds. Podiatry is typically covered under extras policies, though your rebate amount depends on your specific fund and level of cover. We recommend contacting your insurer before your appointment to confirm your entitlements.

What age groups do you treat?

Expert Foot Care treats patients of all ages, from young children through to older adults. We have particular experience with children's foot conditions such as Sever's Disease and flat feet, sports injuries in active adults, diabetic foot management, and complex conditions in elderly patients.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book online through our website at https://expertfootcare.com.au/booking/, by phone on (07) 3256 8638, or by visiting the clinic at 53 South Pine Road, Alderley. Initial appointments typically allow 45 minutes for a thorough assessment and treatment discussion.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your private health insurance card, any GP referral or care plan documentation, a list of current medications, and the footwear you wear most frequently – including sports shoes and work boots if relevant.
