The use of Doppler ultrasound is commonplace and some services have toe cuff PPG vascular technology. Most services have access to orthotic and insole manufacturing facilities on site. Some services have access to f-scan pressure analysis and amfit orthotic manufacturing technology.
Individuals wishing to practise as a podiatrist in Queensland are required to be registered by the Podiatry Board of Queensland.
