Supporting Access to Funded Footwear, Orthotics and Clinical Care
Accessing the right foot care and medical-grade footwear should not be complicated. At OrthoGenix, We are an experienced NDIS and DVA provider supporting individuals in accessing funded solutions that improve mobility, reduce pain and support long-term health.
We also assist clients through Enable NSW, Workers' Compensation, CTP Insurance, Home Care Packages and other major Australian funding schemes. Our team works closely with participants, veterans, case managers and referring health professionals to deliver practical, clinically guided outcomes across podiatry, orthotics and medical footwear.
Understanding the Funding Schemes Available in Australia
A range of government and insurance-based funding schemes exist to help Australians access essential foot care and therapeutic footwear. Understanding which scheme applies to you is the first step toward getting the support you need.
NDIS – Supports individuals living with permanent and significant disabilities
DVA – Supports eligible veterans and their dependants with service-related or age-related health needs
Enable NSW – Assists eligible NSW residents in accessing assistive technology and therapeutic supports including footwear
Workers' Compensation – Covers therapeutic footwear and orthotic treatment for individuals with workplace injuries
CTP Insurance - Motor accident claimants in NSW and other states may access funded orthotics and footwear as part of their injury management plan
Home Care Packages - Older Australians on a government-funded Home Care Package may use their allocation toward podiatry, orthotics and therapeutic footwear
Chronic Disease Management Plans - Medicare-subsidised podiatry consultations including footwear assessment may be available through a GP-managed CDM plan
While each scheme has its own eligibility criteria and funding structure, all are designed to help people maintain independence, mobility and quality of life.
Funded Footwear and Orthotic Solutions That Make a Difference
Through NDIS, DVA and other approved funding schemes, eligible individuals may be able to access:
- Custom orthotics and insoles
- Medical-grade and therapeutic footwear
- Diabetic and wide fit footwear
- Footwear modifications and adjustments
- Support for complex foot conditions and mobility issues
These solutions are designed to reduce pressure, improve alignment and help prevent further complications. As an experienced provider, we ensure every recommendation is clinically appropriate and aligned with your funding plan or insurance claim.
Personalised Assessments and Clinical Guidance
Every patient begins with a detailed assessment to understand their condition, mobility goals and funding situation. Our team - including Certified Pedorthists (C.Ped) and AHPRA-registered allied health professionals - will:
- Assess foot structure, gait and pressure distribution
- Review medical history and existing supports
- Liaise with your podiatrist, GP or case manager where needed
- Prepare clinical documentation to support your funding application or claim
- Recommend appropriate orthotics or footwear solutions
"Our role is not just to fit the right shoe or orthotic - it is to ensure every patient can access the clinical solution they need through whatever funding pathway is available to them. No one should miss out on appropriate care because navigating the system feels too hard."
- Dr. Sayed Ahmed, PhD (Pedorthics) - Founder, OrthoGenix
