NDIS

Targeted Therapeutic Support for NDIS Participants

The NDIS funds 37 categories of goods and services, including Therapeutic Supports, designed to help participants improve or maintain functional capacity in key areas such as communication, mobility, social interactions, emotional well-being, and community participation.

Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is an advanced, evidence-based therapy that aligns within this category. By leveraging guided neuromodulation, MeRT enhances brain function, reduces symptoms, and supports greater independence – without medication or invasive procedures.

What is MeRT Therapy?

Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses customised brainwave modulation to address neurological disorders and cognitive challenges. By analysing an individual’s thought patterns, MeRT therapy provides a personalised approach to improving brain function, enhancing well-being, and promoting long-term recovery.

Why NDIS Plan Managers Should Consider MeRT Therapy:

MeRT therapy is an evidence-based intervention that fits within the NDIS framework for therapies supporting neurological and cognitive function. By recognising the benefits of this treatment, NDIS plan managers and support coordinators can help clients access life-enhancing therapies tailored to their unique needs.

How does MeRT Therapy Fit Within NDIS Therapeutic Supports?

MeRT therapy aligns with NDIS Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living (Registration #4-F15DZ1P) by providing:

Evidence-Based Brain Stimulation – Uses guided neuromodulation to enhance brain function.
Personalised Therapy Plans – Tailored to each individual’s unique neurological activity for maximum effectiveness.
Non-Invasive, Drug-Free Treatment – No medications, no side effects – just safe, personalised, brain optimisation.
