    There are some issues with them.

    They are a Melbourne based company run by a physio(s), but have podiatrists on staff.

    They advertise free or $10 for orthotics (IF you have private health cover) and you can get free shoes ... unless you with Medibank private, who have wised up to this business model.

    They certainly devaluing the profession with their business model and it will bite the profession when the insurance companies wise up to this kind of promotion (one already has).

    It really is a deliberate misuse of the private health insurance benefits and that is going to really bite. I know the insurance companies are aware of this.

    I know that APodC have spoken to them and given them some "advice" and have had some discussions with the health funds

    They are also probably breaching the AHPRA rules re what they claim in their adverts - I not sure if any one has lodged a complaint, but assume so as this has p....d off a lot of people and the image that it is portraying for the profession.
