Registered Music Therapist Music therapists incorporate a range of music making methods within and through a therapeutic relationship.

Music therapy is a research-based practice and profession in which music is used to actively support people as they strive to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapy is the intentional use of music by a university trained professional who is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association Inc. Registered music therapists draw on an extensive body of research and are bound by a code of ethics that informs their practice. They are employed in a variety of sectors including health, community, aged care, disability, early childhood, and private practice. Music therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapists are committed to supporting people of any age and ability regardless of musical skill, culture or background.

🎶 Music therapy is evidence-based, and its body of research continues to grow.

🎹 It's provided by allied health professionals who are uniquely qualified to use music as a therapeutic intervention.

🎤 It's regulated by the Australian Music Therapy Association, a member of Allied Health Professions Australia and National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions

🎸People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds benefit from music therapy.

🥁 Music therapy is an NDIS-funded support and part of several government-funded programs.

🎺 You'll find registered music therapists in hospitals, clinics, schools, prisons, community centres and working with other allied health professionals like speech pathologists, occupationsl therapists, physiotherapists and more.
