Yes, we offer specialised care for children’s feet and ankles. Paediatric podiatry is important for identifying and treating developmental issues early on, such as flat feet, gait abnormalities, and sports injuries. We focus on gentle treatments and preventative care for growing feet.

We are an ACC-registered provider and currently hold an Allied Health Contract. If you have sustained a foot or ankle injury, you may be eligible for ACC cover. For ACC claims, we can lodge the claim on your behalf if you’ve had an accident.

Please note the following for ACC appointments:

· $65 surcharge for Initial Consultation

If you have an active ACC claim, please bring your ACC claim number with you to your appointment.

In some cases, orthotics and other products may be fully funded through ACC, depending on the nature of your injury and the treatment required. Your podiatrist can advise you.

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a podiatrist and can make an appointment directly with us. However, some insurance plans (such as Procare) require a referral from your GP for treatment to be covered. If you're unsure please don’t hesitate to contact us.
