Last updated: 5 March 2026

After many years of dedicated service to our community, we wish to share an important update about the future of our Practice.

Our sole Podiatrist, Craig Hodson-Cornford has made the bittersweet decision to retire in April, marking the end of many rewarding years as a Podiatrist.

As a result, our practice will officially close on 19 April 2026 with limited appointments available until Monday, 13 April 2026.

We know this news may come as a surprise, and we want to express our deepest gratitude for your trust, loyalty, and support over the years.

We encourage all clients/patients to make alternative arrangements for ongoing care as soon as possible to avoid any gaps in your care. Your GP may be able to assist with recommendations. If you have Private Health Insurance, your insurer may have a list of preferred providers. The Podiatry Association (APODA) also maintains a searchable list of Podiatrists on Find a Podiatrist available: https://www.podiatry.org.au/find-a-podiatrist.

Please see below for more information and frequently asked questions.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition. We wish you all the very best!

Warm regards,
Instep Podiatry Brisbane

Important Information & FAQs

Where can I find out more? We will endeavor to use this space to provide updates and address any frequently asked questions we receive during the transition towards Craig’s retirement and the closure of our practice. However, please contact us if you have questions or concerns. For now, the best way to contact us is via The Health Hub on 1300 709 076.

Do I have to transfer my record to my new podiatrist? You don’t have to transfer your record to your new podiatrist since they will need to do their own assessment and treatment planning with you and this will influence the treatment they provide. However, if you or your podiatrist do require more information about your previous treatment, please make contact us and we can send you a form to complete. For more information about accessing your record please see our Privacy Policy.

What will happen to my clinical information? Your clinical notes will be archived securely in accordance with record keeping obligations since the practice has not been sold.
