Podiatry
If you have pain or problems affecting your feet, ankles or lower limbs, a podiatrist may be able to help.
Good foot, ankle, and lower‑leg care is essential for mobility, comfort, and overall health. Whether you’re managing sports injuries, diabetic foot issues, or routine nail care, podiatrists offer a range of services to support you.
What services are available?
Podiatrists can assist with:
- General foot, ankle, and lower limb issue assessment and treatment
- Nail and skin care (corns, calluses, ingrown toenails)
- Insole and orthotics design and fitting
- Injury rehabilitation
- Diabetic and high‑risk foot care
- Children’s foot health, including growth‑related complaints
- Gait/run analysis
- Biomechanical evaluations and footwear advice
When you visit the podiatrist, you should bring your relevant footwear, such as running or work shoes, to help the podiatrist diagnose and treat your issue.
Where to go for support
You don’t need a referral from a doctor to see a podiatrist. You can find a clinic and book an appointment directly using the Healthpoint directory.
Podiatrists set their own prices for the services they provide. You can request a quote when booking. Clinics may also accept private health insurance.
If you are visiting a podiatrist as a result of an accident, you may be able to submit an ACC claim to help cover the cost of your treatment.
