The NDIS approves plans from six months to three years and funds a variety of evidence-based allied health interventions including:
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational therapy
- Exercise physiology
- Other therapies approved under a plan.

MLS® Laser Therapy Improves an NDIS Physio Practice: Case Study
Farid Zaharei and his team at Merrylands Rehab Centre, NSWMeet Farid Zaharei, Senior Physiotherapist, and his team of physios at the Merrylands Rehab Centre, NSW. Farid has been using MLS® laser therapy for over 3 years. He now has 3 MLS® lasers to treat his growing patient base. Farid and his physio team are extremely well-equipped to treat NDIS patients.
The main conditions that he uses MLS® laser therapy to treat include:
- Chronic or acute pain
- Muscle sprains, strains, and spasms
- Soft tissue injuries and wound healing
- Injury recovery
- Post-surgical healing
- Back pain
- Head and neck pain
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis and joint pain.
MLS® laser also benefits Farid as the practitioner. Manual therapy is not required when treating with the laser, which reduces a therapists’ physical workload. The hands-free laser models allow for no-contact treatment where the practitioner does not even need to be in the same room as the patient. This makes it a time-saving solution for practitioners to tend to other tasks or see more patients.
“This has been an all-round great investment into our patients’ health. We have faster recovery, longer-lasting results and with the high-powered robotic laser we can treat our patients in a safe, hands-free way. We can also combine our laser treatments with physical therapy and add in exercise programs as needed. We cover all aspects of a patient’s recovery and rehabilitation.” said Dr Farid.
“Our patients love it.”
