Not Sure Which Condition You Have?

Foot and ankle pain rarely occurs in isolation. An untreated flat foot can trigger plantar fasciitis, while tight calf muscles frequently cause Achilles tendon strain. You don't need to self-diagnose before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?

No referral is needed! As primary healthcare practitioners, podiatrists can be consulted directly by private patients. If your GP has provided a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) / Chronic Disease Management plan, please bring your paperwork along to receive your Medicare rebate.

Can I claim my appointment on Private Health Insurance?

Yes. Both our Aveley Medical Centre and Brecken Health South Perth clinics are equipped with HICAPS terminals. You can swipe your health fund card immediately on-site, paying only the remaining gap.

What should I bring to my initial biomechanical consultation?

Please bring your everyday work shoes, favorite running or athletic shoes, any previous custom orthotics you've worn, and any recent X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI reports related to your feet or ankles.

Where are your clinics located and what are your opening hours?
