If you’re living with diabetes, regular foot care is an important part of maintaining your health.
Our podiatrists provide assessment and management for diabetic foot concerns to support mobility and help reduce the risk of complications.

Frequently asked questions on Diabetic foot care in Perth

When should I see a podiatrist for diabetic foot care?
It’s recommended to see a podiatrist soon after being diagnosed with diabetes, even if you don’t have symptoms. Regular foot assessments help identify early changes and support long-term foot health.

What are signs that I should see a podiatrist?
You may notice:

Numbness or tingling
Cuts or blisters that are slow to heal
Swelling or redness
Changes in skin colour or temperature
Dryness or cracking
Discomfort when walking

These can indicate circulation or nerve changes that require assessment.

Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed to book with our podiatrists. You can make an appointment directly online or by phone.

Can podiatrists manage foot ulcers?
Yes. Podiatrists can assess and manage foot ulcers, pressure areas, or wounds, and coordinate care with your GP or specialist when needed.

How often should I have my feet checked?
Most people with diabetes benefit from at least one foot assessment each year. Those with previous ulcers, nerve, or circulation changes may require more frequent reviews.

What does a diabetic foot assessment include?

Circulation (vascular) and nerve testing

Footwear and pressure review
Individual care recommendations

What should I do if I notice a sore or blister?
Keep the area clean, avoid pressure, and arrange a podiatry appointment promptly for assessment and advice.

Can diabetic foot problems be reduced with care?
Yes. Regular podiatry visits, well-fitted footwear, blood sugar management, and daily foot checks at home can all support better foot health.

Do you accept private health funds or Medicare?
