Fees & Charges
Podiatrist costs are subject to change depending on your treatment needs, and the fees are provided as a guide only. Please ask your Podiatrist for a more precise individual quote for any of our services. If you have private health insurance, rebates are often available for relevant item numbers. Please contact us for more information about item numbers for a better estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses.
Fees and costs for podiatry services in Australia are usually covered under private health insurance, and in certain situations under Medicare, DVA and WorkCover
We have HICAPS facilities for on-the-spot claiming (please bring your health fund card). Please check with your health fund to determine your level of cover for podiatry services as there is wide variability.
If you are having your consultation covered under DVA, Medicare or WorkCover, a GP referral will then be necessary.
Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA) with a Gold Card or podiatry-related White Card are fully covered with no out-of-pocket fees when referred by their GP (D904).
Medicare rebates are available for a maximum of 5 podiatry services per patient in a calendar year. These rebates are available to patients that have a chronic condition and complex care needs being managed by their GP under an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan.
Unfortunately, we are unable to bulk bill our Medicare consultations. We pride ourselves on the highest quality of care for our patients which takes time. The medicare rebates alone are not enough to cover the time we devote to each patient.
Workers Compensation (WorkCover) cases are also fully covered with a medical referral and approval of your case by WorkCover.
We require an initial consultation to carefully assess your problem, at which time we can provide you with either immediate treatment of your condition and a treatment plan to additional consultations that might be required, along with the associated costs.
