We recognise that some of our patients have significant mobility challenges and attending a podiatry practice can be particularly onerous. Whether it be the difficulties regarding transportation or accessibility issues we can treat you in the comfort of your own home.
During a home visit we are able to provide the following services:
As part of our home care treatment we bring all of the required instruments including towels and a foot stool for you to comfortably rest your feet on whilst we treat you, we are unable to cart heavy and expensive machinery to the home.
We will also see patients under the NDIS, Home Care Packages, TAC and Veterans Affairs schemes, however would require all the necessary documentation before confirming home care attendance under the respective scheme. Unfortunately, we do not deal with Work Cover.
Speak with one of with one of our podiatrists or call 03 9939 1012 to discuss podiatry home care visitations.
Your consultation will go for 45 minutes. This time allows your Podiatrist to thoroughly examine and understand your needs as well as providing the necessary time to assess your condition properly. We will also develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will enable you to achieve your goal as soon as possible during this consultation.
There is no requirement to supply a referral from your doctor to see a Podiatrist.
With that said, if you have been referred, please bring a copy of the referral letter.
We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality podiatry care, and as a result, we are unable to offer bulk billing on the Chronic disease management plan (formally EPC). Our consultation fees apply to all visits, and a Medicare rebate can be issued to you on the spot with a valid EPC referral. There is a small out of pocket expense on all appointments.
The frequency and number of visitations will depend on the nature of the condition you are being treated for. The treatment and rehabilitation of conditions will vary widely however after an initial consultation your podiatrist will be able to provide a recovery framework for you.
We appreciate 24 hours notice for cancellations when possible. However we know the unexpected can often happen, so a courtesy phone call if you are going to miss an appointment is always appreciated.
An appointment which is cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice, may incur a fee of 50% of the consult rate.
If you miss an appointment, without giving notice, then the full rate of the appointment may be charged.
Booking Online is the easiest, most convenient way to lock in the location and time you want.
