Darren Kreymborg – Allied Health Lead
At Advanced Podiatry, we’re committed to delivering exceptional care for all foot and lower limb conditions—from routine treatments to more advanced podiatric solutions. Our goal is always to enhance our patients’ mobility and overall quality of life.
On several occasions, we’ve required a locum at very short notice due to unforeseen staff illness. These situations were urgent, and having access to experienced, professional podiatrists on such short notice was critical to ensure uninterrupted patient care.
Podiatry Services SA has been instrumental during these times. Their team consistently provides highly skilled locums with minimal notice, allowing our clinics to remain fully operational without any disruption to patient appointments. Their ability to quickly match us with professionals who are not only qualified but also fully trained and ready to integrate into our systems has been invaluable.
Thanks to their support:
Our patients were never inconvenienced, with all appointments going ahead as planned.
Our clinic operations remained smooth, with no interruptions to workflow.
Our team avoided the administrative burden of coordinating last-minute replacements or training new staff.
The locums provided were well-versed in both clinical care and administrative tasks, seamlessly stepping into the role from day one.
I highly recommend Podiatry Services SA for their responsiveness, professionalism, and commitment to quality care. They’ve become a trusted and reliable partner for our clinic, and we’re grateful for the ongoing support they provide.
Samantha Grigg – Practice Manager, Advanced Podiatry
Comfort Steps Podiatry is a podiatry clinic servicing the Barossa and surrounds, Port Adelaide, Kilkenny and Warradale. Podiatry Services SA were able to help us with a locum service while permanent employees were on leave and during busy periods. Mav at Podiatry Services SA made the process stress-free finding a locum to suit our clinic. We wouldn’t hesitate in using Podiatry Services SA service again in the future.
Aimee – Comfort Steps Podiatry
As a previous sole practitioner Podiatrist working for Country Health SA it was fantastic to be able to contact one place (SA Podiatry Services) to source great suitable locums rather than ringing around to find someone.
This locum company was familiar with accreditation procedures of the practitioner requirements for Country Health SA. There was no delays while locums sourced their paperwork. These locums were ‘ready to go’.
Excellent locums were sourced for my organisation. They were flexible in where they worked, flying and driving to different locations on the Eyre Peninsula. They were capable rural generalists, able to work independently, not requiring supervision, and Mav was very organised with providing a Locum.
When returning to my hometown I was able to secure some locum employment with SA Podiatry Services.
Mav was so organised and runs a very professional business.
Can’t supply instruments yourself? She’s got the whole kit available!
Professional contracts for each locum position made information gathering ie hours of work etc easy. Prompt payment of invoices. I worked long aged care contracts filling in for leave as well as one-off private clinic and aged care days. The variety was good. I have no hesitation in recommending Podiatry Services SA as a Locum employer.
Julie T – Podiatrist
Due to long term illness, I have been using Podiatry Services SA locum service to keep my practice running and my patients cared for over the past 12-15 months and cannot recommend the service highly enough.
Efficient, friendly communication, and everything is organized prior to the locum’s arrival.
All locums have been friendly, punctual, and proficient.
The team at Pod Services SA are also very flexible and have happily changes dates and times according to need, often at quite short notice.
An added bonus has been I have been able to employ one of the locums on a permanent basis, all with the help of Podiatry Services SA, who knew we needed a practitioner.
Regarding the cost, I felt it was quite reasonable when factoring in there is no need to pay Super, sick leave or holidays, as well as the admin done by Pod Services SA.
I can honestly say my practice would not be running were it not for the help of Maria and her team.
LA – Adelaide Podiatrist
Over the years, while working in private practice as a podiatrist, there have been times when I needed immediate relief coverage. When my dad fell ill and had to be flown back to New Zealand, Mav’s team stepped in and provided the support I needed. Later, when I injured myself, they once again came through, allowing me the time to recover without worry. They have always been reliable, supportive, and consistently deliver top-quality service. My patients have been very happy with them, and I highly recommend her team.
