Update: 17/8/2021
 

As Melbourne enters Stage 4 restrictions podiatrists must use telehealth where possible and only treat face-to-face if providing urgent clinical care that cannot be delayed. 

​

For example, urgent clinical care;
· that avoids a potential hospital admission or emergency department presentation
· that prevents/delays the need for further specialist medical or surgical intervention
· that prevents an increase in care needs that would necessitate additional carer supports or change in accommodation needs
· that limits secondary complications post-surgery
· where deferral would lead to long term adverse consequences (ie. delays to child development)

​

We advise all non-urgent patients to call the clinic or if you're unsure if your case is deemed urgent to call the clinic closest to you and our team will triage you to determine if:

​

a face-to-face appointment is required

or 

a telehealth appointment can be made

or

to reschedule tentatively for the future/placed on a waitlist

 

If your situation/condition changes for the worse, whilst waiting for your appointment, please contact the clinic again.

​

We thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
