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.
