Local care
Podiatry for Baw Baw residents.
Acreage families in Baw Baw are close enough to town — 23 minutes via Range Road, about 14 kilometres — that a weekly or fortnightly podiatry program is realistic rather than something reserved for a bigger problem.
That matters for small-farm owners managing heel and arch pain from standing on uneven ground, or for anyone building up an orthotics program that works better with regular review. We also see the everyday side of acreage life: nail and skin problems from farm boots, ingrown toenails that need attention before they get worse, and the occasional sports overuse injury in kids doing weekend training.
Because the drive is short, we can be more proactive with Baw Baw patients — catching a diabetic foot check before it's overdue, or reviewing orthotics on a schedule that actually gets kept, rather than only seeing people once something's already gone wrong.

What we treat
What Baw Baw patients see us for.
A podiatrist is who you see for feet, ankles, and lower legs — skin and nails through to how you walk. Our podiatrists are AHPRA-registered and do in-room treatment, nail surgery under local anaesthetic, orthotics, and wound and offloading care for at-risk feet.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Is Baw Baw close enough for a weekly or fortnightly podiatry program?
Yes — at around 14 kilometres and a 23-minute drive via Range Road, Baw Baw suits regular review schedules better than most of our further-out suburbs, making a weekly or fortnightly program genuinely realistic to keep up.
Do I need a referral for an orthotics prescription from Baw Baw?
No, you can book directly for an orthotics assessment without seeing a GP first. A referral only matters if you're claiming under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan, DVA funding, or an NDIS plan.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
No — you can book podiatry directly as a private patient. A referral or plan is only needed for funded care: a GP Chronic Disease Management plan for a Medicare rebate, or the paperwork for WorkCover, DVA, or NDIS. Diabetic foot checks are often set up through your GP as part of ongoing diabetes care.
When do I actually need orthotics?
Only when the walking assessment shows one will make a real difference — a posted heel for inside-arch overload, a met dome for ball-of-foot pain. Where footwear changes, taping, or a strengthening program will resolve the problem, we start with those rather than prescribing orthotics by default.
