As an essential service we are open.

However a directive from the Chief Allied Health Officer asks all allied health to only treat urgent cases.

If you feel your treatment is necessary to prevent any issues occuring in the next 6 weeks we are here for you.

If you have any doubts at all about your care, a podiatrist will call you to discuss.

We are a very hands-on profession, however if you feel a telehealth consultation may be adequate please let us know as we have this capability.

Online bookings are currently not available. We apologise for the inconvenience.

We are:

• Requiring ALL patients over the age of 12 to wear face masks when entering

All staff have are wearing masks in the clinic and it is now mandatory for all patients to do the same. Remember to minimise touching of your face while wearing a mask!

•Keeping our WAITING ROOM CLOSED where possible and kindly request that people arriving by car wait in their car and call 9560 9599 to let us know they have arrived. The podiatrist will then collect the patient.

• requiring people to use hand sanitiser within the clinic.

•asking you to NOT attend if you are UNWELL ( fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose or difficulty breathing)
