Podiatrists are highly skilled foot health professionals trained to deal with prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical conditions of the feet and lower limbs. Our Podiatrists have completed a Bachelor of Podiatry or higher degree and are continually upgrading their skills and knowledge through further education and training.
