Australian Podiatry Association - Tasmania

Podiatrists are health professionals specialising in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of disorders of the foot and the lower limb. The Podiatrist's scope of practice includes areas such as paediatrics, diabetes, sports injuries, structural problems, the treatment of the elderly as well as general foot care.

The Australian Podiatry Association (Tasmania) is the professional association for Tasmanian Registered Podiatrists. On behalf of its members, the Association represents the profession to Government, community and other professional bodies, as well as acting as a contact point for the public.

We are affiliated to the Australasian Podiatry Council (A Pod C) that is the National peak body representing all States, Territories and New Zealand. All members have an opportunity to advance the profession with involvement in the State and National Councils.

Association membership is open to all Tasmanian State Registered Podiatrists, members practice under a strict code of ethics and comply with compulsory guidelines for Infection Control procedures.
