DVA – Department of Veterans’ Affairs for Podiatry

Our Podiatrists at Berwick Podiatry are registered to provide Podiatry services to Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Card holders. All our subsequent services are entirely bulk billed.

Services covered by Veterans’ Affairs cardholders

Podiatry services include foot assessments, general nail and skin care, and physical therapy on your feet. Treatment may also include the prescription of medical-grade footwear, footwear modifications, and orthoses.

If you are a DVA Card holder, you will typically require a referral from your General Practitioner (GP) in order to access Podiatry. Some Podiatry services also require prior approval from DVA in order to be funded under this system. There are specific restrictions that apply in certain circumstances such as Medical Grade Footwear eligibility.
