Frequently Asked
Podiatry — your questions answered
Do you bulk bill?
With a GP Management Plan (chronic disease) you can have up to 5 bulk-billed sessions per year. Otherwise private fee applies.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed for private appointments. Bring orthotics if you have them.
Are orthotics covered by health insurance?
Most extras cover at least partial rebate — check with your fund.
How long do orthotics last?
Custom orthotics typically last 2–3 years for adults, 1 year for children (as feet grow).
Can you help with plantar fasciitis?
Yes — one of the most common reasons for podiatry visits. Treatment includes orthotics, stretching, footwear advice and sometimes shockwave therapy.
