Make the Most of Your Private Health Rebates Before They Reset

‍

As the end of the year approaches, it’s the perfect time to pause and check in on your private health fund extras. Did you know that most health fund rebates reset on January 1st? That means any unused podiatry benefits from 2025 may not carry over — and we’d hate to see them go to waste. At Peak Podiatry, we encourage our patients to make the most of their cover before the calendar flips over.

Many of our patients are taking advantage of this time of year to review or update their orthotics, ensuring they’re still providing optimal comfort and support. For others, it’s the ideal opportunity to organise a second pair — whether that’s for running shoes, work boots, or a favourite pair of casual sneakers. Having the right orthotic in the right footwear can make a big difference in preventing strain, improving performance, and keeping you pain-free through the busy summer months.

It’s also a great time to check in with any niggles, aches, or recurring foot and leg pain that might have been put off during the year. A simple assessment or treatment before the holiday season can help you stay active, comfortable, and ready to enjoy the things you love most — from long summer walks and family trips to getting back into your favourite sports routine.

At Peak Podiatry, our team combines advanced gait analysis, clinical expertise, and years of experience to ensure your treatment plan — including orthoses — suits your lifestyle and goals. We take pride in helping you move better, recover faster, and feel your best, every step of the way.

So before the year wraps up, take a moment to look after yourself and your feet. Use your podiatry rebate before it resets, and step into 2026 with comfort and confidence.
