Nobody here is judging your feet
Feet aren’t always pretty, and that’s completely fine. We see every kind of foot, every day, with zero judgement.
Plenty of people put off a visit because they are embarrassed. You do not need to apologise, tidy anything up, or explain yourself.
We ask, then we look
What hurts, how long it has been going on, what shoes you live in, and what you need to get back to. Then we have a look and, if it is relevant, watch you walk.
We tell you what we found, in plain words
What it is, what your options are, and what each one would cost. You are not signing up to anything in that first appointment.
Most things we can start the same day
Nail and skin care, padding, strapping and advice happen in the first visit. Nail surgery is usually booked separately so we can set aside the time.
About nail surgery and the needle
Ingrown toenail surgery is done under a local anaesthetic, so the toe is numb before anything else happens. The injection is the part people ask about, and we take it slowly. We will talk you through every step, and you can stop us at any point.
On orthotics, honestly
We only recommend custom orthotics when the evidence suggests they will help. Sometimes better footwear or a few exercises do the job, and we will tell you when that is the case.
If we do think orthotics are worth it, you get the reason, the price and the alternatives before you decide.
What we will and won’t claim
Foot treatments get oversold, often using wording that comes straight from the device supplier. Here is where we stand on the common ones.
- Ingrown toenail surgery
- It works, and it usually stops the problem coming back. We won’t call it painless. It is numb, which is not the same thing.
- Custom orthotics
- They can help some foot and heel pain. We won’t tell you they will fix your back or your posture.
- Fungal nail treatments
- There are options worth trying, and we will go through them. We won’t call anything a cure, including laser.
- Shockwave for stubborn heel pain
- It may help cases that have not settled with everything else. We won’t present it as a certainty, because the research is mixed.
- Wart treatments
- Several approaches are available, including microwave therapy. We won’t say permanent or guaranteed. Warts often need more than one go.
Clear, upfront pricing
What it costs

- HICAPS at the desk. Tap your health fund card and pay only the gap.
- Medicare, with a GP plan. A chronic condition management plan covers up to five subsidised allied health visits a year, at roughly $63 back each. That five is shared across every allied health service you use, so if you also see a physio or a dietitian it comes out of the same allowance. Your GP decides whether you qualify.
- DVA, NDIS and workers compensation. We bill DVA directly. For NDIS we work with self-managed and plan-managed participants. Bring your claim number for a work injury.
