Diabetic Foot Management WA Health Group

Why diabetic foot care matters?

Diabetes affects circulation and nerve function, making your feet more vulnerable to injury, infection, and serious complications. Without proper care, minor issues can escalate into ulcers, infections, and even amputation.

Our goal is prevention first, and fast treatment when needed. That’s why, in addition to podiatry for diabetic care, we also offer:

Diabetic-specific exercise classes designed to improve circulation and mobility
Access to our expert team of dietitians specialising in diabetes management

This holistic approach supports better foot health, better blood sugar control, and a better quality of life.

Frequently asked questions on Diabetic foot care in Perth

Q1: When should I see a podiatrist for diabetic foot care?

You should see a podiatrist as soon as you're diagnosed with diabetes — even if you have no symptoms. Early screening helps prevent long-term complications.

Q2: What are the signs of diabetic foot problems?

Watch for:

Numbness or tingling
Cuts or blisters that don’t heal
Swelling or redness
Changes in skin colour or temperature
Cracks, dryness, or unusual odour
Pain when walking or standing

These may indicate nerve damage (neuropathy), poor circulation, or early signs of infection.

Q3: Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

No referral is needed to book with our podiatrists for diabetic foot care in Perth. You can book directly online or call us.

Q4: Can you help with diabetic foot ulcers?

Yes. Our podiatrists are experienced in managing diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and slow-healing wounds. We provide early-stage wound care and coordinate with your GP or specialist if advanced treatment is required.

Q5: How often should I have my feet checked?

We recommend a diabetic foot check at least once a year. If you’ve had foot ulcers, nerve damage, or circulation issues, you may need more frequent visits, every 3 to 6 months.

Q6: What is included in a diabetic foot assessment?

A full diabetic foot check includes:

Blood flow testing (vascular assessment)
Nerve sensitivity testing (monofilament or vibration test)
Skin and nail health inspection
Footwear and pressure risk review
Ulcer risk score and personalised care advice

Q7: What should I do if I notice a sore or blister on my foot?

Never ignore it. Clean it gently, avoid pressure on the area, and book a podiatry appointment immediately. Even small wounds can become serious quickly in diabetic feet.

Q8: Can I prevent diabetic foot complications?

Yes, with the right care. Prevention includes:

Daily foot checks at home
Wearing well-fitted shoes
Regular podiatry reviews
Good blood sugar control
Avoiding walking barefoot

Q9: Do you accept private health funds for diabetic foot care?

Yes, we accept all major health funds, and many of our services qualify for gap-only payments. Check with your fund or call us for more details.

Q10: Can I access diabetic foot care through Medicare or EPC plans?

Yes. If eligible, you can get a Medicare rebate for podiatry services through an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan arranged by your GP. Bring your referral to your appointment.

Q11: What makes WA Health Group different for diabetic foot care?

We offer a multidisciplinary approach, combining podiatry, exercise physiology, and dietetics to support the full picture of your diabetic health, not just your feet. We also provide diabetic exercise classes and education to help you stay mobile and confident.
