DVA Podiatry
Home-visit podiatry for eligible DVA clients across Adelaide.
Overview
We provide DVA podiatry home visits across Adelaide for eligible clients who prefer to be seen at home.
Eligible veterans can access podiatry through DVA arrangements, with care provided at home rather than in a clinic. This suits older veterans, anyone with mobility or transport barriers, and clients who simply prefer to be seen in their own home.
DVA podiatry usually requires a referral from a GP. If you are unsure about eligibility or the paperwork, call first — we can explain exactly what is needed and coordinate with your GP where appropriate, so nothing is left for you to chase.
Common visit work includes routine nail and skin care, treatment for corns and calluses, foot pain management and diabetic foot monitoring. Many DVA clients are seen on a regular cycle so care stays consistent.
