Good to know

What telehealth works well for, and what it doesn’t

Telehealth works best for conversations, reviews and planning. Anything hands-on, like nail and skin treatment, 3D scanning, gait analysis on our treadmill or fitting orthoses and braces, needs a visit to the studio. If we think you’d be better seen in person, we’ll tell you, and help you plan it.

Travelling to see us from regional WA

Patients travel from all across Western Australia to see us, and we do what we can to make the trip worth it.

Call us on (08) 9280 0223 and our front of house team will help you plan your visit.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What do I need for a telehealth appointment?

For video, a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a reliable internet connection and a quiet, well-lit space. We’ll send you a secure link beforehand. For phone appointments, just your phone. Video is best when we need to see your feet, shoes or how you move.

Can you treat my nails or skin by telehealth?

No. Nail and skin treatment needs to be done in person. Telehealth is great for advice, reviews and planning, and we can help you plan a visit to the studio.

Can I use a Medicare referral for telehealth?

Podiatry under a GP Chronic Condition Management referral can be provided by telehealth when it’s safe and suitable for you. Please call us before booking so we can check this for you.

How much does it cost?

You can see our current fees on our Pricing Policy page.

Can a family member or carer join?

Yes. Family members, carers and support workers are welcome to join the call.

Can I claim on private health?

We don't offer on-the-spot claiming. If your extras cover includes podiatry, you can claim with your fund using your itemised receipt. Check with your fund about your level of cover.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly with a podiatrist.
