Podiatry on Medicare
Medicare covers podiatry through a GP chronic condition management plan (GPCCMP). You need a referral from your GP and a plan prepared or reviewed in the last 18 months. The plan allows up to 5 rebated allied health visits per calendar year in total, shared across every allied health service you see. Each podiatry visit is billed under Medicare item 10962 and runs at least 20 minutes, and the Medicare benefit is $63.40 per visit. You pay the clinic fee and a gap remains after the Medicare benefit. Plans made before 1 July 2025 still work until 30 June 2027.

Podiatry with private health insurance
HICAPS is on site, so your health fund rebate is claimed on the spot. How much you get back depends on your fund and your level of extras cover.
Podiatry for DVA card holders
DVA covers clinically necessary podiatry for Veteran Card holders. A Gold Card covers all clinically necessary podiatry, and Gold Card holders pay no out-of-pocket costs at the clinic. A White Card covers podiatry for your accepted conditions, and White Card holders pay a gap. You need a referral from your GP, a medical specialist or a hospital discharge planner, and the referral lasts 12 sessions or one year, whichever ends first.
