The Hon Mrs Judi Moylan MP has tabled an APodC petition in Federal Parliament.

The petition calls for an increase in Medicare-subsidised podiatry appointments for people with diabetes related foot complications.

It also calls for subsidies for medical devices which optimize healing and help prevent hospitalization and amputation.

Mrs Moylan tabled the petition in the Federation Chamber of Parliament House on 1st March 2012. Mrs Moylan’s speech to parliament can be read here.
