DVA at Studio Podiatry.
We are committed to providing exceptional care and support to DVA patients, honouring their service and dedication with the highest standards of podiatric care.
We offer bulk-billed podiatry services to eligible white and gold DVA card holders.
All Studio Podiatry locations accept Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) patients with a valid D904 referral from your General Practitioner (GP).
The D904 referral grants you access to either 12 months of Podiatry care or up to 12 Podiatry appointments, whichever occurs first. If you exhaust your 12 appointments within the 12-month timeframe, obtaining a new D904 referral from your GP is necessary to continue treatment.
Additionally, there is no restriction on the number of referrals your GP can provide, and we will promptly inform you when a new referral is required.
