13-19 October is Podiatry Week.

Podiatry Week aims to inspire people to learn more about podiatry, foot and ankle health, take advantage of the invaluable services on offer, and even consider podiatry as a career path.

Podiatrists play an essential role across all areas of the health sector - from private practice, community health services, hospitals, rural and remote outreach clinics, to rehabilitation centres, residential aged care, across the disability sector and working within people’s homes.

From our very first steps, podiatrists keep us moving pain free, chasing sporting goals, staying active for better health, and recovering from injury.

When life presents new challenges, from managing diabetes to staying mobile in later years, podiatrists are there every step of the journey to provide support.

It's not just lower limb, ankle and foot problems – it’s about quality of life at every age and stage.
