Welcome to the Podiatry Board of South Australia

The Podiatry Board of South Australia (the Board) is the statutory authority in South Australia responsible to Parliament for the administration of the Podiatry Practice Act 2005, which is an Act to protect the health and safety of the public by providing for the registration of podiatrists and podiatry students; to regulate the provision of podiatric treatment for the purpose of maintaining high standards of competence and conduct by those who provide it; to repeal the Chiropodists Act 1950; and for other purposes.

This is achieved by:
  • ensuring that persons applying for registration:
    -   have the necessary recognised tertiary qualifications;
    -   are fit and proper;
    -   are medically fit;
    -   are competent to safely practice;
  • maintaining appropriate registers;
  • ensuring that registered persons:
    -   are fit and proper;
    -   maintain high standards of competence and conduct;
  • approving courses of education and training that provide qualifications for registration;
  • establishing benchmarks for practice through endorsing/preparing standards of conduct and practice, and guidelines on continuing professional development;
  • investigating complaints about a registrant's or service provider's conduct, competence or capacity, and taking the necessary disciplinary or remedial action;
  • preventing or restricting the practice by unregistered or unqualified persons;
  • the investigation and prosecution of summary offences under the Act or Regulations.
