As experts in foot care and health a podiatrist can see to many needs. Overall a Podiatrist’s Scope of Practice includes paediatrics, diabetes, sports injuries, structural problems (biomechanics), treatment of the elderly and general foot care. The complex mechanics of feet (involving 52 bones, a network of muscles, joints and ligaments) and a wide range of foot problems (over 200 identified conditions) demand professional expertise – so see your podiatrists when you have any problem or concern about your feet.

There is no requirement to supply a referral from your doctor to see a Podiatrist. However, you will need a referral to claim a rebate from Medicare, DVA, or Workers Compensation and you will need to present this referral prior to your appointment. If you have any relevant documentation or have been given a referral, please bring this along to your appointment. 

We are a busy practice and are unlikely to have availability for walk-in appointments, so we encourage booking beforehand. You will need to make an appointment and can do so by calling or texting 0405 572 463, emailing mossvalepodiatry@gmail.com, or dropping in during our business hours.

Appointment times can vary depending on the complexity of the issue raised, but typically an initial appointment may take up to 45 minutes, and a standard consultation will take up to 30 minutes. If you are required to undergo a more complex procedure, the podiatrist will advise on the length of time expected. 

Please bring with you any X-Rays, GP referrals, EPC or CDM forms or medical history relating to your visit. Ensure you have your Medicare card and private health insurance card, if applicable, along with your preferred method of payment. You may also like to bring your shoes, if they are relevant to your concerns. 

Home visits may be provided at the discretion of the podiatrist and are reserved for current patients who are infirm and homebound. Please give us a call to discuss the potential for a home visit if you believe you are eligible.

Yes. Our podiatrists can assess conditions that require orthotics and provide custom orthotics or professional grade ‘off the shelf’ orthotics which can be customised for you.

Sometimes. To claim a Medicare rebate you will need to obtain an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referral from your Doctor prior to your appointment. This is part of Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan formed by a medical practitioner. This allows eligible patients to claim a partial Medicare rebate for up to 5 visits per year with a Podiatrist. You must also bring your Medicare card to your first appointment. 

At Moss Vale Podiatry we aim to provide the highest quality care and as a result we are unable to offer bulk billing for Medicare referrals. Moss Vale Podiatry does not Bulk Bill at this time.

Yes we do! Please bring a DVA  referral from your GP before or at the time of your first appointment.

Yes we do! However, you will need to contact your My Aged Care provider before your appointment to confirm that you will be covered at our practice.

Yes. Simply present your private health insurance card at your consultation and we will claim your rebate back at the time of your consultation.

The EPC referral is obtained from your Doctor and allows eligible patients to claim a partial Medicare rebate for up to 5 visits per year with a Podiatrist.  

We have easy access from the street where parking is frequently available. We also have a small carpark behind the clinic, with a disability access ramp leading to the front of the building.

We sure are! There are no steps inside the practice and we have two wheelchair friendly ramps making entry easy and accessible to all.

At Moss Vale Podiatry we understand that life happens. With that said, we still need to cover our operational costs, and ask that you let us know as soon as you know you are unable to make your appointment so that we can fit another patient in your place. Less than 24hrs notice may incur a cancellation fee of $44, and missing an appointment without giving notice may incur the full appointment fee.  

We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols, according to The Privacy Act 1988 which you can read by clicking the link below:
