About us

As the peak body for podiatry in Australia, the Australian Podiatry Association (APodA) is dedicated to advancing foot health and supporting podiatrists in their vital work. Podiatrists play a crucial role in helping people move and thrive, and APodA exists to ensure podiatrists themselves can also move forward in their careers and succeed professionally. 

Our purpose is to empower our members at every stage of their journey, offering the resources, direction, and environment they need to excel. This commitment extends beyond our members to our staff, directors, and volunteers, who are all united by a shared vision for growth, excellence, and innovation in podiatry. 

At the heart of our mission is the biennial Australian Podiatry Conference. This premier event brings together a diverse group of delegates, including practice managers, podiatric surgeons, new professionals, students, and allied health experts from Australia and across the globe. The conference is a unique opportunity for connection, learning, and the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge — ultimately advancing the profession and enhancing patient care.

Our conferences are not only about gathering; they are about shaping the future of podiatry and ensuring our community continues to lead and innovate in this essential profession.
