What is NDIS Podiatry?

NDIS Podiatry is a specialist allied health service focused on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions related to the feet and lower limbs. For NDIS participants, maintaining foot health is crucial for mobility, balance, and overall well-being. Our podiatrists work with you to manage pain, prevent serious complications, and implement strategies so you can confidently participate in daily activities and achieve your NDIS goals.

Our Podiatry Services

Comprehensive Foot Health Assessment

A thorough evaluation of your foot and lower limb health. This initial assessment includes checking skin and nail condition, circulation, sensation, joint mobility, and structure. It forms the foundation of your personalised treatment plan, identifying any issues that could affect your mobility and overall well-being.

Diabetic Foot Assessment & Neurological Testing

A vital preventative service for participants with diabetes or neurological conditions. We perform tests to check for loss of protective sensation (using a monofilament wire), assess blood flow, and examine for high-pressure areas or early signs of ulceration. This helps prevent serious complications and allows for early intervention.


High-Risk Foot Care & Management

Specialised care for feet that are vulnerable to infection and ulceration due to conditions like diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or neurological impairments. We provide meticulous, sterile debridement of callus, safe nail care, and ongoing management strategies to maintain skin integrity and prevent hospital admissions.

Routine Nail Care

Professional trimming and maintenance of toenails for individuals who are unable to care for their own feet due to physical disabilities, cognitive impairments, or safety concerns. This service prevents painful ingrown toenails, infections, and improves overall foot hygiene and comfort.

Callus and Corn Management

Skilled reduction and removal of painful, thickened skin (callus) and its central core (corn). We use sterile techniques to alleviate pressure and pain, and provide advice on how to prevent them from returning, ensuring every step is more comfortable.

Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Expert management of painful ingrown toenails that can cause infection and limit mobility. We provide conservative care to relieve pain and pressure, and can perform minor surgical procedures under local anaesthetic to remove the problematic nail section if required.

Biomechanical & Gait (Walking) Analysis

An assessment of how you stand, walk, and run. We examine your foot posture, joint movement, and muscle function to identify any abnormalities that may be causing pain, contributing to falls, or leading to injuries in your feet, knees, hips, or back.


Custom Orthotics & Pressure-Relieving Insoles

The design and creation of medical-grade, custom-made shoe inserts (orthotics). Based on your biomechanical assessment, these devices are precisely crafted to correct alignment, redistribute pressure, support arches, and reduce pain, thereby enhancing your stability and function.


Footwear Advice and Assessment

Professional guidance on choosing the right shoes for your specific foot type, condition, and lifestyle. We assess your current footwear for fit, support, and safety, and provide recommendations to improve comfort, prevent injuries, and ensure compatibility with any orthotics you may use.


Management of Arthritic Foot Pain

A tailored approach to managing foot pain and joint stiffness caused by arthritis. Treatments may include gentle mobilisation techniques, padding and strapping to support inflamed joints, orthotic therapy to off-load pressure, and advice on activity modification and pain relief strategies.

What does an NDIS Podiatrist do?

An NDIS Podiatrist specialises in foot and lower limb health. We provide assessments, treat skin and nail conditions, manage high-risk feet (e.g., for diabetics or those with reduced sensation), prescribe orthotics to improve walking, and offer advice on footwear. Our goal is to manage pain, prevent complications, and enhance your mobility and independence.





How do I know if I am eligible for NDIS Podiatry?

To access NDIS-funded Podiatry, you must be an approved NDIS participant. Your plan needs to include funding for podiatry services, which is typically found under Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living Skills. If you have this funding, you can use it to book our services. We can also assist in preparing reports if you need to request funding for podiatry in your next plan.

Do you provide mobile podiatry services?

Yes, we are a fully mobile service. We come to you, whether you are at home, in a group home, or at supported independent living (SIL) accommodation. This ensures our services are accessible and convenient, and it allows us to see your home environment, which can be helpful for footwear and mobility assessments.



I have a disability that makes it difficult to bend over. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. This is a very common reason participants access our service. Our mobile podiatrists are experienced in working with clients who have limited mobility, flexibility, or sensitivity. We will position you comfortably and safely to provide care without you needing to bend or assist.





What is the difference between a podiatrist and a general foot care nurse?

A podiatrist is a university-qualified allied health professional who can diagnose and treat medical conditions of the feet, perform sharp debridement (cutting of skin/nails), prescribe orthotics, and manage complex high-risk cases. A foot care nurse typically provides non-invasive, routine maintenance care. For most NDIS participants with complex needs, a podiatrist is the required level of care.




How do I book an appointment, and what do I need?

Booking is simple. Click the "Book Now" button on this page or call our clinic directly. Please have your NDIS number and your plan manager or support coordinator's details (if you have one) ready. We will check your plan to confirm your funding and talk to you about your specific goals.



Can a podiatrist help with painful walking or flat feet?

Yes, this is a core part of our work. We perform biomechanical and gait (walking) analyses to identify the source of the pain. We then create a treatment plan, which often includes the prescription of custom-made orthotics (insoles) to correct alignment, support the arches, and redistribute pressure, leading to reduced pain and improved function.




How often should I see an NDIS podiatrist?

The frequency of visits depends entirely on your individual needs and NDIS goals. Some participants with high-risk needs (e.g., diabetes, immobility) may need visits every 4-8 weeks. Others requiring routine care or orthotic management may only need reviews every 3-6 months. After your initial assessment, we will recommend a tailored treatment schedule.

In their words

What Families Have to Say

"My support worker, Sarah, has been an absolute lifesaver. She helps with my daily routine, from meal prep to getting to appointments on time, and even takes me on short walks to the park. Sarah is patient and really listens to what I need. I’m so grateful for the support she provides – I feel more confident knowing she’s there."
Emily T, Brunswick, Melbourne
"We hired a gardener from Beyond Health Services, and Jason has completely transformed our backyard. He removed the weeds, trimmed the hedges, and even installed a vegetable garden that my wife and I have been enjoying. The space looks so much better, and we couldn’t be happier with his attention to detail."
Jason M, St Albans, Melbourne
"The cleaning service from Beyond continues to impress us. Every corner of our home gets attention – they even scrubbed out stains from the carpets that we thought would never come out. I always look forward to coming home to a fresh, spotless house after their visit. Their reliability is what sets them apart."
Sophia R, Sunshine West, Melbourne
"I’m so grateful for Liam, the driver who takes my father to his medical appointments. Liam is always on time, helps my dad in and out of the car, and even waits with him at the doctor’s office. It’s reassuring to know my dad is in such capable hands when I can’t be there myself."
Adam G, Windsor, Melbourne
"These guys sent over a fantastic speech therapist to help my son with his communication challenges. Kate was incredibly patient, using fun and interactive techniques to get him to open up. In just a few weeks, we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in his speech, and he’s more confident in expressing himself. We’re so thankful for Kate’s expertise and warmth."
Sarah W, Werribee, Melbourne
