Protecting foot health with clinically designed diabetic footwear
Accessing the right foot care and medical-grade footwear shouldn’t be complicated. At Foot Balance Technology, we are an experienced NDIS and DVA provider, supporting individuals in accessing funded solutions that improve mobility, reduce pain and support long-term health.
We work closely with participants, veterans and referring health professionals to provide practical, clinically guided outcomes across podiatry, orthotics and medical footwear.
Understanding NDIS and DVA Support In Australia
Both the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and the Department of Veterans' Affairs provide funding for essential health supports - including footwear and orthotic solutions - but they serve different groups.
- NDIS supports individuals living with permanent and significant disabilities
- DVA supports eligible veterans and their dependants
While the systems are different, both are designed to help people access the care they need to maintain independence, mobility and quality of life.
