If you fail to notify us or do not turn up for your scheduled appointment, we will charge you a $55.00 fee. This fee cannot be claimed back from your private health fund.

Giving us at least 48 hours notice allows us to reallocate your appointment time to an emergency or a patient in urgent need of treatment. Thank you for your understanding.

Private Health Insurance.

Podiatry services at Peninsula Foot Clinic attract a rebate through some private health fund extras. Please check with your provider to see if you are covered. The cost of your treatment or services that our Podiatrist recommends will be detailed in your plan.

Medicare does not cover Podiatry. However, Peninsula Foot Clinic accepts management plans or referrals from your Doctor under the Enhanced Primary Care Plan program, where a rebate is available for a limited number of services.

Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC)
You can access this program through your GP if you meet the criteria for having a chronic condition, for example, Diabetes. Your GP must initiate your Care Plan and send out the appropriate referrals to us.

Under this program, you can access up to 5 sessions of Podiatry in a given calendar year with Podiatrists registered with Medicare. All Podiatrists at Peninsula Foot Clinic are registered with Medicare under this scheme. Please speak with your GP to see if you are eligible, and contact our team if you would like to discuss your referral.
