If you stopped by our stand at the sold‑out 2025 DFA Conference in Sydney, thank you - what a couple of energising days! Held on November 10–11 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the event brought together Australia’s leading minds in diabetes‑related foot health under the Diabetes Feet Australia banner. We had a steady stream of clinicians - especially from regional and remote communities - drop in to see how our online ordering platform is making truly custom orthoses and custom footwear easier to access than ever.
So, what does OrthoGenix actually do? In short, we deliver premium, clinically driven custom footwear solutions that protect vulnerable feet, enhance mobility and improve quality of life. Through this website, clinicians can prescribe and order custom orthoses, custom footwear and medical‑grade shoes using a consistent, streamlined process. The result is simple: better fits, better function and better outcomes, without the friction that typically slows things down.
If you’re an orthotist or prosthetist, you’ll recognise the value straight away. Complex presentations need precise offloading and support, and our fabrication pathway turns detailed prescriptions into accurate, durable outcomes you can trust. Podiatrists often tell us they love the end‑to‑end simplicity - medical‑grade footwear, custom insoles and DVA‑approved options in one place - so they can stay focused on clinical care while we handle fit, fabrication and fulfilment. Pedorthists rely on our breadth of custom footwear and orthotic inserts to match unique morphologies and pressure profiles. And physiotherapists, from paediatrics to geriatrics, use our AFO‑compatible footwear and custom insoles to dovetail with rehabilitation plans that build stability, confidence and daily function.
What makes us a leader in our field is how we combine clinical precision with digital access. We’ve built a workflow that captures the nuance of your prescription - from rocker profiles and targeted offloading to extra depth and width - then reproduces it consistently. Our online ordering system means geography is no longer a barrier. Regional clinicians can submit prescriptions, upload notes and imagery and track progress in real time. Patients don’t have to compromise on quality just because they live hours from a major centre.
Diabetes‑related foot disease demands more than a “good shoe.” It calls for pressure redistribution, seamless interiors, stable bases and adjustability that respects day‑to‑day changes. That’s why our portfolio emphasises offloading features and rocker soles to reduce forefoot pressure, extra depth and width to accommodate deformities and orthoses, soft protective linings that minimise friction and shear, and secure closures to handle fluctuating oedema. Everything is built to integrate with custom insoles and AFOs when required, because the best footwear should work with your plan - not against it.
Behind the scenes, we’re just as focused on the realities of practice as we are on the biomechanics. Clear communication, predictable timelines and reliable delivery matter. Funding pathways matter. And when you’re managing complex cases, having a responsive partner matters most of all. From first prescription to final fit, our team is here to make the process smooth for clinicians and comfortable for patients.
The DFA Conference reminded us why this work matters. Diabetes Feet Australia’s mission - to end avoidable amputations within a generation - aligns with everything we stand for. It was inspiring to hear how clinicians across disciplines are lifting standards of care, and exciting to see how our digital tools are helping regional teams deliver world‑class, custom solutions close to home.
If you’re ready to simplify your workflow and elevate your outcomes, we’d love to partner with you. Explore this website further or get in touch to talk through your next case. Let’s make best‑in‑class, custom footwear accessible to every patient who needs it.
