Podiatry Week

The aim of the week is to raise awareness of the full scope of the Podiatry profession and educate the public on the large range of ways Podiatrists can support their health.

Podiatrists are responsible for diagnosis and management of disorders, injuries and pain affecting the foot, ankle, and lower limbs, and have the ability to prescribe medicine as an Endorsed Prescriber.

You will find Podiatrists across all areas of the health sector – private practice, community health services, hospitals, rural and remote outreach clinics, rehabilitation centres, residential aged care, in the disability sector and in people’s homes.
