Is telehealth available for Windellama given the 58-minute drive?

Follow-up discussions can sometimes be done by phone, but the initial assessment, wound care, and nail surgery all need an in-room visit. We'll flag in advance which of your Windellama appointments genuinely need you here in person.

What funding covers wound care for Windellama's older residents?

Medicare covers wound monitoring under a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, DVA covers card holders directly, and NDIS participants are covered under their plan. We'll confirm exactly what applies to you before your first Windellama visit.

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 Windellama residents.

An hour's drive is a lot to ask twice, and Windellama residents know that better than most — at 58 minutes via Windellama Road, roughly 64 kilometres, it's the furthest most of our patients travel for a podiatry appointment.

That distance shapes how we work with remote farming families here. Self-reliant households often manage minor foot problems themselves for longer than they should, so by the time we see a diabetic foot check, a wound, or an ingrown toenail, it's usually further along than it would be closer to town. We treat what's in front of us — conservative care or nail surgery under local anaesthetic where needed — and build a realistic plan for how often you actually need to come back.

For an orthotics review or an ongoing wound-care program, we try to space visits sensibly, because a well-planned trip beats a rushed one every time.

What we treat

What Windellama 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.
