There are a number of ways you may be able to claim back our fees.

  1. Private Health Fund: The majority of private health funds in Australia cover podiatry. We have a HICAPS online claiming system which allows you to receive your private health insurance rebate instantly.
  2. Veterans’ Affairs: Our podiatrists are registered to provide services for veterans, including treatment, biomechanical assessment, prescription orthotics and footwear referrals.
  3. Medicare: The Medicare Plus Program provides limited cover for patients with chronic and complex conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, etc. A referral and a Chronic Disease Management Plan from a GP is necessary for up to 5 visits per year for those patients who fulfill the criteria. For further information, visit the Department of Human Services’ Chronic Disease Management Plans webpage.
  4. Workers Compensation: If your foot-related injury or accident happened at work, workers compensation may help. Pre-approval is required for all workers compensation cases.
