Is Tirrannaville close enough for a diabetic foot check every few weeks?

Yes — at about 13 kilometres and a 15-minute drive via Braidwood Road, Tirrannaville is one of our closest suburbs, which makes more frequent standing appointments for diabetic monitoring genuinely practical to keep up.

Do I need a GP referral to book with a podiatrist from Tirrannaville?

No, podiatrists are primary contact practitioners, so you can book directly without seeing a GP first. A referral only matters if you're claiming under a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan or a Workcover claim.

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.

Local care

Podiatry for Tirrannaville residents.

Steady, close-in access defines life in Tirrannaville — at 15 minutes via Braidwood Road, about 13 kilometres, it's one of the shortest drives to our clinic of any of the surrounding communities.

That closeness is well suited to ongoing care. Rural-residential families managing ankle or heel problems from property work, or anyone on a standing diabetic foot check or orthotics review program, can keep appointments regular without the drive becoming a reason to skip one. We treat the everyday problems too — ingrown toenails, skin and nail issues, and the odd sports overuse injury in younger family members — with the same in-room care as anything else.

Because the trip in is short, we're able to see Tirrannaville patients more often when it's clinically useful, rather than trying to pack everything into a single longer visit.

What we treat

What Tirrannaville 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.
