What is Podiatrists?
Podiatry is the assessment, treatment and management of conditions affecting the feet, ankles and lower legs. Podiatrists help with issues such as nail and skin care, foot pain, reduced sensation, wounds, and footwear or orthotic needs, so you can stay mobile, comfortable and safe.

What is Podiatry and NDIS Foot care?
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.
How can I access Podiatry services?
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.
How do I know if Podiatry is covered in my NDIS plan?
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).
