leading light rehab
our philosophy
You deserve an oasis on your journey to recovery -- a place you can turn to, where every moment is designed to allow you to get well, and stay well.
This space was initially created because of the gap in accessible and supportive cancer recovery and post-operative care in our community. Now, we are here to support all patients experiencing any form of pain – oncology-related, musculoskeletal and wound healing – through the OncoLaser Therapy Approach. The care we provide is evidence-based, cutting-edge and modern, addressing needs that have often been overlooked.
Our focused team works collaboratively with referring practitioners, with advanced technology and tailored treatment plans. We don't want to be just another appointment – instead, we aim to be an oasis where science meets genuine rest, and every session feels like a quiet moment to yourself.

Haydn Johnston
Haydn's path to Leading Light Rehab is a little different from most — after studying a Diploma of Screen & Media at TAFE, he found his way into healthcare looking for new experiences and open doors. What he didn't expect was to find a team so genuinely passionate about the people they care for that leaving wasn't really an option. As Clinic Coordinator, Haydn is often the first person you'll hear from at Leading Light Rehab. He takes pride in making sure every client feels welcome and supported from the very first interaction, and works behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly so that your care journey does too.
Outside of the clinic, Haydn can be found at live concerts, deep in a video game, wandering through a gallery, or with his nose in a book. He values his time with loved ones and believes the best days usually involve good music and great company.
