Podiatry Guidelines in Residential Aged Care Facilities released
14 Jul 2025
Designed to foster a shared understanding between podiatrists and Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), we are pleased to share a new resource developed as a benefit for members of the APodA's Podiatry in Aged Care (PAC) Special Interest Group (SIG).
The customisable Podiatry Guidelines in Residential Aged Care Facilities is a comprehensive guide setting out the minimum standards recommended by the APodA for planning and delivering podiatric services across Australia.
It underscores the vital role of podiatry services in RACFs, detailing what podiatrists do, why their work matters, and how their care positively influences residents, carers and families alike.
PAC SIG members gain exclusive access to this essential tool as part of their membership, helping our dedicated podiatrists provide best practice podiatry services to RACF patients.
If you specialise in treating older clients either in aged care facilities, in-home services or in clinics and are not yet an APodA member or PAC SIG member, please click here to join your professional association today and select your additional PAC SIG membership when you sign up.
