The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) provides comprehensive podiatry services to eligible veterans, war widows, and widowers. This funding ensures that veterans receive the necessary foot care to maintain optimal mobility and overall health. At Elite Foot Care on the Sunshine Coast, we are proud to offer DVA-funded podiatry services, ensuring our veterans receive the care they deserve.
To be eligible for DVA-funded podiatry services, individuals must hold a DVA Health Card—either a Gold Card or a White Card with approved specific conditions. The Gold Card provides access to comprehensive health services, including podiatry, while the White Card offers treatment for specific conditions or injuries sustained during service.
DVA podiatry funding covers a variety of services aimed at maintaining and improving foot and lower limb health. These include:
