Red Light Therapy & NDIS: How StreamShop Australia Makes Access Simple
At StreamShop Australia, we believe everyone should benefit from advanced wellness tech, especially NDIS participants. We help self‑managed and plan‑managed participants access medical‑grade red light therapy devices, including full-body red light therapy beds via their NDIS plans with minimal effort.
Why Red Light Therapy Qualifies for NDIS Funding
Red and near‑infrared photobiomodulation (600–900 nm) supports cellular repair, reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and enhances mobility. When these therapeutic benefits align with your NDIS functional goals, like reducing reliance on supports or improving participation, they may be considered as reasonable and necessary assistive technology under NDIS guidelines:
-The device must be related to your disability
-It must support your outlined goals or improve functional independence
-It must be the most appropriate and cost-effective option available
What You Need to Access Funding
-Confirm your plan includes assistive technology in the capital budget or explicitly names red light therapy or photobiomodulation
-Provide a written quote or therapeutic report (from an allied health or AT advisor) that links device use to your goals
-Include supporting evidence, such as therapist recommendations or clinical research findings
-Submit this package to your plan manager or NDIA. For devices between AUD $1,500–15,000, only one quote is required

-Supports such as red light therapy must be evidence‑based and clearly linked to functional goals, complementary therapies without therapeutic justification are excluded
