NDIS Podiatry Services

NDIS podiatry services play a crucial role in maintaining mobility, reducing pain, and improving foot health for individuals with disabilities. Through comprehensive foot assessments, custom orthotics, and therapeutic treatments, podiatrists help participants manage a range of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower limbs.

NDIS podiatry services support individuals with neurological conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes-related foot issues, and mobility challenges by providing preventative care, pain management, and assistive technology solutions. Whether it’s addressing foot deformities, prescribing orthotics, or assisting with pressure care, podiatrists help NDIS participants move comfortably and maintain an active lifestyle.

Keeping You on Your Feet with Expert Podiatry Care

NDIS podiatry services provide essential support for individuals with disabilities by addressing mobility challenges, pain management, and foot health concerns. Podiatrists work with NDIS participants with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, and Muscular Dystrophy, offering tailored treatments to improve comfort, stability, and movement.

For individuals with Cerebral Palsy, podiatrists help manage muscle tightness, foot deformities, and walking difficulties by prescribing custom foot orthotics and ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs) to improve alignment and stability. Participants with Multiple Sclerosis may benefit from pressure care treatments and specialised footwear to prevent sores and maintain foot health as mobility declines. Those with Diabetes require regular foot assessments, wound care, and preventative treatment to reduce the risk of ulcers and infections.

What Sets AHP’s NDIS Podiatry Services Apart?

At AHP, we take a specialised and person-centred approach to NDIS podiatry, ensuring every participant receives tailored foot care that directly enhances their mobility, comfort, and independence. Unlike general podiatry services, we focus on disability-specific foot health challenges, providing custom solutions designed for NDIS participants with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes, and Muscular Dystrophy.

Our holistic, multidisciplinary approach sets us apart, as we work closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals to ensure podiatry care is fully integrated into a participant’s overall NDIS plan. Whether prescribing custom orthotics and ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs), managing diabetes-related foot health, or addressing mobility concerns, our podiatrists deliver evidence-based treatments designed for long-term improvement.

Flexible Service Options

With flexible service options, including clinic visits, home-based care, and assistive technology solutions, AHP makes high-quality NDIS podiatry services accessible and convenient for all participants. Our commitment to innovation, compassionate care, and outcome-driven support ensures that each participant receives the best possible podiatry treatment to support their daily activities, independence, and overall well-being.

Who Can Benefit from NDIS Podiatry Services?

NDIS podiatry services are designed for individuals with disabilities or chronic conditions that affect foot health, mobility, and lower limb function. Participants who experience pain, difficulty walking, balance issues, or require specialised foot care can benefit from tailored podiatry interventions to improve comfort, posture, and independence.

Individuals with Cerebral Palsy often require custom foot orthotics and ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs) to improve gait and prevent foot deformities. Those with Multiple Sclerosis may need pressure care treatments and mobility support to manage fatigue and foot pain. Participants with Diabetes benefit from preventative foot care, ulcer management, and custom footwear to reduce complications. People with Muscular Dystrophy, arthritis, or spinal cord injuries receive podiatry support to enhance mobility, reduce discomfort, and prevent long-term foot issues.

Logan's Mum

I was present during the entire assessment. Victor did not only presented and represented AHP in a professional way, he is also adept and diligent in his approach with every step of the assessment. This has made it easier for Ashley to effectively correspond.

Support Coordinator

Laura was absolutely outstanding in listening to our questions and helping us through the OT process.
As Hayden is non verbal, it can be hard to communicate but Laura made him feel the most comfortable I have ever seen him. She should be commended for her calm and gentle approach she has to her clients.

Funding Options

Funding Support for Podiatry Services in Disability and Home Care

In Australia, funding for podiatry services in residential aged care facilities is primarily supported through a combination of the AN-ACC, Medicare, and, in some cases, private health insurance. However, there are limitations and gaps in coverage, meaning aged care facilities often need to manage how these services are provided and funded.

NDIS

This is the main funding model used to allocate subsidies to aged care facilities based on the care needs of residents. However, AN-ACC does not directly fund podiatry services as a standalone service. Instead, podiatry can be included in the broader "complex healthcare" needs category, which may cover some specialised medical services, including wound care provided by podiatrists.

Medicare

As with the general population, residents in aged care facilities may be eligible for Medicare-funded podiatry services through the .Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. This allows for up to five subsidised visits per year to a podiatrist, but it is limited and often insufficient to cover the frequent or ongoing care many aged care residents require. A referral from a GP is needed to access this subsidy.

Private

Some residents may have private health insurance that covers podiatry as part of their extras policies. Depending on the level of coverage, this can supplement the costs not covered by Medicare or AN-ACC, but this depends on the individual resident's insurance plan.
