Is podiatry covered by Medicare?

Not routinely. Medicare covers a limited number of allied health sessions through a GP care plan for chronic conditions, which can include podiatry for eligible patients, and diabetes care plans are the most common route.

What does a podiatry appointment cost?

An initial appointment costs more than a standard review because it includes assessment. Ask about the gap after any private health rebate and about the cost of any orthotics separately.

How much do custom orthotics cost?

Custom orthotics are a significant cost on top of the consultation and are not always necessary. Ask what the assessment found, and whether an off-the-shelf option would address it, before committing.

Do I need a referral?

No for a private appointment. Yes for Medicare-subsidised sessions, workers compensation or a third-party claim.

About podiatrists in Burnie

Burnie is an industrial north-west coastal city with a deep-water port, set on a hillside above the water. It is one of the wettest, windiest parts of the state, and the weather is a genuine part of life rather than small talk. Homes range from older inner-city stock to hillside builds, and the surrounding country is dairy and forestry, so the city and its rural hinterland are closely connected.
