Services
General Podiatry
Comprehensive management of foot conditions including nail care, corn and callus removal, wart treatment, and fungal infections. Our podiatrists address both acute and chronic foot health issues through evidence-based interventions. Ideal for patients seeking routine maintenance or specific problem resolution, this service forms the foundation of our clinical practice.
PACT Nail Therapy
Advanced photodynamic therapy for fungal nail infections using PACT technology. This non-invasive treatment targets fungal cells with light-activated dye, destroying infections without harming healthy tissue. Requires three sessions spaced weekly, with follow-up determined by infection severity and duration.
Orthotics
Personalised biomechanical assessment and gait analysis to create prescription orthotics. We offer both custom-made devices for specific pathologies and medical-grade prefabricated options that can be modified. Solutions address structural imbalances, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions affecting feet and lower limbs.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment for chronic soft tissue pain using acoustic waves to stimulate healing. Effective for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and calf tightness. The therapy induces controlled inflammation to activate the body's natural repair mechanisms, providing long-term relief without surgery.
Home Visits
Podiatry services delivered at patients' residences or aged care facilities. Designed for elderly or mobility-impaired individuals, this service maintains clinical standards while providing convenience. Covers routine foot care, wound management, and assessment of home environments to prevent falls and injuries.

Podiatrists manage foot and ankle conditions including nail care, skin problems, musculoskeletal disorders, and sports injuries. They also provide diabetic foot care and prescribe orthotics.
Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
No referral is needed for private consultations. However, Medicare rebates require a GP referral under chronic disease management plans.
How often should I see a Podiatrist?
Healthy adults should visit annually. Diabetic patients or those with chronic conditions need check-ups every 3-6 months for optimal foot health maintenance.

Do you offer home visits?
Yes, we provide home visits for elderly or mobility-impaired patients across our service areas. Contact us to arrange convenient appointment times.
Can feet contribute to back pain?

I signed up to do Kokoda 96km walk in PNG jungle. I went along to see Caelin to get my feet sorted and prepared for the trek. My orthotic fit out was terrific, I completed the hike with no blisters, and feet and knees felt fine during the 8 days. Thanks Caelin for assisting me to achieve this challenge.

A huge Thankyou to Chantel and her team for looking after us during our prep and Oxfam event. Chantel cared for our feet; she taught us how to use lock laces correctly, tape feet and ankles and most important blister prevention and care. Last weekend we participated in the Oxfam 100km event and I am happy to say our full team of four walkers not only finished the course in 35.5 hours, but we have all pulled through uninjured! Thankyou to Chantel and her team for playing a large role in getting us to the finish line. 😃👟 Donna - Owner Free 2B Me Fitness 4 Women
