Podiatry Services at SALHN

Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) Podiatry Services provides a multi-site comprehensive podiatric service that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of medical and surgical conditions of the feet.

There is a strong emphasis on high risk foot care, for individuals at risk of/with current ulceration or amputation.

We also provide nail surgery clinics, orthopaedic interventions and paediatric services to accommodate the broader podiatric needs of the community. Footwear provision or ongoing general care is not provided.

We accept referrals from medical, nursing, allied health, and Aboriginal Health practitioners.
