Podiatrist

Podiatrist — Rockingham, WA Private practice | Full-time or part-time | Strong caseload, real clinical work

An established private practice near Rockingham is looking for a Podiatrist to join its team. The clinic has been serving the local community for years, has strong referral relationships with GPs and specialists across the southern corridor, and has built a patient base that keeps the diary full without needing to advertise for it.

The team is friendly, the management is practical, and the workflow is set up to let clinicians do clinical work — bookings, billing, and admin are handled by a capable front-of-house team.

Why The Caseload Is Worth Talking About

Rockingham and the surrounding area — Kwinana, Baldivis, Waikiki, Secret Harbour, Mandurah — has a patient demographic that generates genuinely interesting clinical work:

High-risk foot and diabetic caseload — the region has significantly higher rates of diabetes and vascular disease than the Perth metropolitan average, which means real complexity and real clinical developmentWorking-population musculoskeletal work — a lot of trades, defence personnel from HMAS Stirling, and industrial workers, which translates to a steady flow of biomechanical and MSK presentationsAgeing coastal population — Rockingham and Mandurah are major retirement destinations, driving consistent general and preventive podiatry demandPaediatric and family work — one of WA's fastest-growing family demographics, so gait, footwear, and developmental presentations are part of the regular mix

For a clinician wanting breadth and clinical depth, this is a caseload you'd struggle to replicate in a wealthier suburb.

Full-time preferred; part-time considered for the right candidateBusy from day one — established books, no ramp-up periodMix of general podiatry, diabetic and high-risk foot care, MSK and biomechanical assessment, minor procedures, and orthotic workModern, well-equipped treatment roomsStrong reception and admin supportClinical autonomy with practical, hands-off management

About The Area

Rockingham is 45 minutes south of Perth, on the coast, and has been one of WA's fastest-growing regions for the last decade:
