What funding applies to a farm wound review for Yarra residents?

Medicare covers wound monitoring under a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, and DVA or NDIS participants are covered under their own respective funding. We'll confirm exactly what applies to your situation before booking.

Is Yarra close enough for a standing diabetic foot check program?

Yes — at about 18 kilometres and a 19-minute drive via the Braidwood Road, Yarra is close enough that regular diabetic monitoring appointments are practical to keep up without the drive becoming a burden.

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 Yarra residents.

Yarra's mix of working farms and lifestyle blocks means we see two fairly different kinds of foot problems from the same short drive in — 19 minutes via the Braidwood Road, about 18 kilometres.

Farming families deal with the physical wear of standing, lifting, and years in work boots: heel and arch pain, nail and skin damage, and the occasional wound that needs monitoring after an injury on the property. Lifestyle-block households tend to bring in more of the everyday problems — an ingrown toenail that's started catching, or a child's growing pains that are worth having assessed rather than waited out.

Because Yarra is close enough for the drive to be genuinely easy, we can suggest a standing orthotics or diabetic foot check program without it feeling like an imposition, and adjust the schedule as your feet — or your family's — actually need.

Getting here

The drive in from Yarra.

Yarra sits south-west of Goulburn, about 18 km from the clinic and roughly 19 minutes away via the Braidwood Road. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.

What we treat

What Yarra 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.
