home visits for those who live locally and are unable to attend our premises. Mina can look after foot problems 
in all age groups from children to the elderly.

A referral is not necessary if you are attending privately. A referral from your doctor is required if you want 
to claim through Veterans’ Affairs or WorkSafe. You may also be covered by Medicare if you have long term 
chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis or vascular disease. Your doctor will have to give you an Enhanced 
Primary Care Plan (EPC) before you make an appointment.

All major Private Health Insurance Funds cover podiatry services under their ancillary tables. Check with your 
fund to find out your level of cover. We have HICAPS which means you will be able to claim from your health 
fund on the spot and only pay the gap.
