Podiatry and foot care services are crucial for treating and managing conditions affecting your feet, ankles, and legs. While Medicare may cover certain treatments, the NDIS funds them if they are related to your disability and assist you in performing daily activities. Supports can include specialised footwear or funding for specific treatments. Podiatry and foot care are particularly important if you have a disability that affects sensation in your feet.
Podiatrists can create a tailored care plan to help manage your foot care. The NDIS may fund a range of podiatry supports, including:

If you need podiatry services, start by consulting your doctor. They can connect you with health services covered by Medicare. You can continue to use Medicare services even as an NDIS participant. If your disability prevents you from managing your foot care independently, the NDIS may include funding for a podiatrist in your plan. This could also cover a support worker to assist with foot care, such as using specific shoe supports or performing foot exercises.
Generally, the NDIS will fund ongoing podiatry and foot care supports if they are
related to your disability. You'll need evidence from qualified Podiatrists, such as reports
or assessments.
Podiatry and foot care funding typically fall under Therapeutic Supports and Capacity Building (Daily Activity).
