Diabetes can reduce feeling (peripheral neuropathy) and blood flow (peripheral artery disease) in the feet. A small cut or blister can then go unnoticed and turn into an ulcer or infection. Australian guidelines recommend that everyone living with diabetes has their feet checked at least once a year, and more often as risk rises.12
Our AHPRA-registered podiatrists assess your feet, give you a clear risk level and set your next check to match, as part of your wider diabetes team.

Symptoms are a guide, not a diagnosis. Your GP confirms the diagnosis; our team helps you manage it day to day.
The teams and services that most often support people with this condition. They work from one shared plan, and one GP referral reaches all of them.
Our foot care follows the 2021 Australian evidence-based guidelines for diabetes-related foot disease, including their risk stratification, recall and infection recommendations.
At least once a year for most people living with diabetes, and more often if you have reduced feeling, reduced circulation, a past ulcer or a foot deformity. Your assessment sets your recall interval.
Yes. Neuropathy can develop without symptoms, and the first sign of trouble should never be a wound that will not heal.
Do not wait to see if it improves. Contact us or your GP the same day. If your foot is red, hot or swollen, or you feel unwell, go to an emergency department. Early treatment makes a big difference to healing.
With a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, Medicare rebates apply to up to five eligible allied health visits a calendar year. DVA, NDIS and private health insurance are also accepted.
Well-fitted, enclosed footwear that protects your feet, matched to your risk level. If you have reduced feeling, avoid going barefoot, even at home. Our podiatrists give specific footwear advice at every assessment, with no sales agenda.
Tell us what is going on and we will point you to the right discipline, or to more than one. Most people start with a single appointment and leave with a plan the rest of the team can see.
