Podiatry Week

Podiatry Week

From first steps to next steps
Come back in late September to access our new resources

Podiatry Week is an annual campaign that raises awareness of ankle and foot health and the essential role podiatrists play in healthcare.

From a child’s very first steps, podiatrists play a crucial role in ensuring kids walk, run, and grow with confidence.

As you move through life chasing sporting goals, staying active for better health, or recovering from injury, podiatrists help keep you moving pain-free.

When life brings new challenges, from managing diabetes to staying mobile in later years, podiatrists are here to support every next step, big or small.

It's not just lower limb, ankle and foot problems. It’s about movement, independence, and quality of life at every age and stage.

Whether it’s a child finding their stride, an athlete hitting their stride, or an older adult maintaining their stride, podiatrists are there for every step of the journey.

You will find podiatrists across all areas of the health sector – from private practice, community health services, hospitals, rural and remote outreach clinics, to rehabilitation centres, residential aged care, across the disability sector and working in people’s homes.

As part of Podiatry Week, we aim to inspire people to learn more about podiatry and the invaluable services on offer, perhaps book an appointment with a podiatrist, or even consider it as a career path. You’ll be amazed at where podiatry could take you.
