At Makarios Health, we understand how important foot health is for comfort, independence, and overall wellbeing — especially in aged care. We provide care for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Toenail care (thickened nails, fungal nails, ingrown toenails)

• Skin care and assessments (corns, calluses, cracked heels, pressure areas)

• Circulation (vascular) assessments

• Neurological assessments (foot sensation, diabetes-related checks)

• Balance and mobility concerns (falls prevention, gait support)

• Footwear and orthotic prescription and advice

• Heel and arch pain (plantar fasciitis, heel spurs)

• Flat feet and high arches

• Bunions and hammertoes

• Sports injuries (stress fractures, tendonitis, shin splints)

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Foot and ankle injuries (sprains, instability)

• Children’s foot concerns (gait, growth, development)

We strive to accommodate urgent cases and offer same-day appointments for these whenever possible. We have plenty of availability for ongoing podiatric care, fill out the contact form and we will be in touch within 24 hours!

A care plan is a referral from your GP that helps you access certain health services at a lower cost.

• For podiatry, this is often called a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM). If you have a long-term condition such as diabetes, arthritis, or circulation problems, your GP may refer you under this plan. Medicare then provides a rebate of roughly $60 for 5 podiatry visits each year. 

Having a care plan means you still book directly with us, but part of the cost is covered by Medicare, making your treatment more affordable.
