Proactive Health brings together over 40 independent allied health businesses across 450+ locations nationwide. We are a network built on a simple idea: that independent clinic owners can deliver exceptional, community-focused care when they have the right clinical governance, operational support, and professional development behind them.
What makes our model different is the multidisciplinary approach. Our podiatrists do not work in isolation. They sit within teams that include physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers. That means coordinated care plans, shared clinical thinking, and better outcomes for patients with complex or overlapping needs.
We work across DVA, Medicare (EPC), NDIS, Home Care Packages, private health, and workers' compensation funding, giving our clinicians breadth in their caseload and genuine variety in their week.
About This Clinic — Brisbane Community
This Brisbane-based podiatry role sits within Craig Pitt's clinical network — a team that's built a strong reputation for delivering quality podiatric care across the greater Brisbane metropolitan area. Brisbane's population continues to grow post-Olympics announcement, and the demand for podiatry services across DVA, aged care, NDIS, and private clients is keeping pace.
Your caseload will be varied and clinically interesting — biomechanical assessments, orthotic prescription, diabetic foot management, wound care, nail surgery, and general podiatry across multiple funding streams. The metropolitan setting means strong GP and specialist referral networks, access to a broad patient demographic, and the ability to develop specialised clinical interests within a well-supported team.
Craig Pitt leads this team with a focus on clinical quality and professional development. Craig's approach is collaborative and supportive — he's invested in helping podiatrists develop their skills, build their client base, and find genuine career satisfaction. For a podiatrist wanting a Brisbane-based role with clinical depth, strong mentorship, and the lifestyle of Australia's sunniest capital — this is one to explore.
The Role — What Makes This One Different
This is not a standard clinic-based podiatry position. This role is built around two distinct but complementary pillars: community-based home visits delivering hands-on podiatric care to patients in their own environment, and DVA case conferencing where you contribute your clinical expertise to multidisciplinary treatment plan reviews for veteran patients.
It is a role designed for a podiatrist who wants something beyond the four walls of a treatment room. Someone who values autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to shape patient outcomes through both direct clinical care and collaborative strategic input.
Pillar One — Community Home Visits
A significant portion of your week will be spent delivering podiatric care to patients in their homes and within the community. You will work with aged care clients under Home Care Packages, DVA Gold Card holders who are unable to attend clinic, and NDIS participants who require in-home podiatry services. This is frontline allied health at its most meaningful. You will be the clinician who sees the patient in their real environment, assesses their risk factors in context, and provides treatment that makes a tangible difference to their mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Transport costs are supported for this role. Depending on your circumstances, this may include a fuel allowance, kilometer reimbursement, or access to a company vehicle, ensuring that travel between appointments is not a financial burden on you.
Your home visit caseload will include routine podiatric care (nail management, skin and callus treatment, corn management), diabetic foot assessments and ongoing monitoring, vascular and neurological screening, wound care and dressing management, footwear assessment and education, and flagging clinical concerns back to GPs and the broader multidisciplinary team. You will manage your own schedule within the community, which means genuine autonomy in how you structure your day.
Pillar Two — DVA Case Conferencing
The second pillar of this role is DVA case conferencing, an area that will be built up progressively as you settle into the position and develop confidence in the format.
Case conferencing is a structured, collaborative process where a veteran's treatment plan is reviewed by a panel of clinicians from different disciplines, led by the patient's GP. These sessions take place online via Microsoft Teams, which means you can participate from home on your conferencing days. All you need is a computer and a quiet workspace. If you do not have an adequate setup, a laptop will be provided.
Each session typically runs across a four-hour block in the morning and a four-hour block in the afternoon, with patients allocated 20-minute slots and a break in the middle of each session. Your role in the conference is to provide your podiatric clinical perspective: reviewing the patient's current treatment plan, advising whether podiatric intervention would benefit the patient, recommending changes to existing foot care strategies, and collaborating with the GP, physiotherapist, dietitian, exercise physiologist, and other disciplines on a coordinated care approach.
This is clinical work at a strategic level. You are not treating the patient directly in these sessions. You are contributing your expertise to a team-based discussion that determines the direction of their care. For clinicians who enjoy clinical reasoning, collaborative problem-solving, and working across disciplines, case conferencing is deeply rewarding.
What Your Week Actually Looks Like
Your week will be a genuine blend of hands-on community care and collaborative clinical input. A typical week might look like this:
Monday and Tuesday could be spent in the community, visiting patients in their homes across the Brisbane region. You start the day reviewing your schedule and route, then head out to your first patient — a DVA Gold Card veteran in their 80s who needs nail care, a diabetic foot check, and a conversation about new footwear because their current pair is increasing their falls risk. By mid-morning you are at your second visit, assessing a Home Care Package client with a chronic wound that needs dressing and monitoring. Between visits, you are updating your clinical notes, sending a message to the patient's GP about a vascular concern you have flagged, and checking in with the EP about a shared patient's mobility progress.
Wednesday and Thursday might be your case conferencing days, worked from home. You log into Teams for the morning session and join the GP-led round table discussion. Over the course of the morning, you review treatment plans for veterans and provide your podiatric input — recommending that one patient be referred for biomechanical assessment, advising that another's wound care protocol be adjusted, and confirming that a third patient is progressing well and can step down their podiatry frequency. The afternoon session follows the same format, and by the end of the day you have contributed to the care plans of up to 22 patients without leaving your home office.
Friday could be a flex day — used for additional home visits, clinical documentation, professional development, or a lighter schedule depending on demand and your arrangement with the clinic.
The exact split between community work and case conferencing will evolve as the role develops, with the conferencing component building progressively over time.
