Fees

Every price here is the whole price. There is no booking fee, no call-out fee inside the standard area, and no charge for the equipment I bring.

• —Prices apply from 21 August 2026 and include GST where GST applies.
• —A Medicare rebate of $63.40 a visit, a DVA card or private health extras all reduce what you actually pay. The pages linked below set out each one.
• —For an out-of-area quote, send your address through the enquiry form and I will come back with the figure before you book.

Medicare item 10962 has a schedule fee of $74.55 and pays a benefit of $63.40. That benefit comes off my fee.

• —Five rebated services per calendar year, shared across every allied health provider on your plan — not five each.
• —The visit must run at least 20 minutes and must be recommended in your plan.
• —Home visits are not bulk billed. You pay the full fee and the rebate comes back to you.
• —Nail surgery and orthotics are not covered by this item. They are private fees, and your health fund extras may cover part of them.

These are DVA's own fees for podiatry, effective 1 January 2026. DVA pays them in full. My private fees do not apply to you.

• —You pay nothing. There is no gap, no call-out fee and no travel charge. DVA builds the kilometre allowance into the fee, so I am not permitted to charge you for it.
• —A treatment cycle is twelve sessions and starts with an initial consultation. When the cycle ends I send a report to your usual GP and, if you still need care, your GP refers you again.
• —A Gold Card covers any condition. A White Card covers only the condition DVA has accepted — if that condition affects your feet, podiatry is covered.
• —Orthoses and some other items need DVA's approval before I supply them. I arrange that; you do not have to.

The NDIS price limit for podiatry is $188.99 an hour in 2026–27. I bill your plan by the time the visit takes, at or under that limit. You pay nothing out of pocket.

• —$188.99 an hour is the national price limit for podiatry under Therapeutic Supports. I do not charge above it.
• —Provider travel for therapy supports is billed at half the support rate, so $94.50 an hour. I only claim travel where your plan allows it, and I tell you before the first visit what it will be.
• —Podiatry usually sits under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living, or Improved Health and Wellbeing. Your plan manager can confirm which line yours comes from.
• —Registered NDIS provider, so agency-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants can all book.

These are my fees. What your fund pays depends on your policy, so ring them with the item number and ask.

• —Item numbers come from the podiatry schedule agreed between Private Healthcare Australia and the Australian Podiatry Association, in force since 1 September 2024.
• —Rebates and annual limits vary by fund and by level of cover. I will not guess yours — ring your fund with the item number.
• —One rebate per visit. Medicare or your fund, not both.

Podiatry is a clinical support. Under Support at Home the government funds clinical supports in full, so there is no contribution from you for the visit itself.

• —Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025. Podiatry sits in the clinical supports category.
• —The government funds clinical supports in full. Participant contributions apply to independence and everyday living services, not to allied health or nursing.
• —The visit is drawn from your quarterly Support at Home budget, so it is not unlimited. A visit every six to eight weeks is a small part of most budgets.
• —If you self-manage, you can book me directly and put the invoice through your provider. If your provider manages your package, give them my details and they will arrange it.
• —Custom orthotics and nail surgery are quoted separately and may need your provider's approval first.
