I’m joining my music therapist colleagues here in Australia in light of the news received from the NDIA and Department of Social Services:

Music therapy is being REMOVED from the NDIS as a funded therapeutic support as of the 2nd of December, 2024.

They have not provided any reason why this decision has been made.

There are 950 music therapists all over Australia, many of which are NDIS providers (a process that requires thousands of dollars and a lengthy auditing process). Private practices may be forced to close due to a lack of clientele being able to receive their services.

Participants will now not be able to access potentially essential music therapy supports through their NDIS funding. Where does that leave them?

✨So it’s “wrapped” time…✨

It actually turned out to be a good conversation starter with the young people I work with today.

We talked about how accurate we thought it was and if they felt that it truly represented their music taste. We also shared our top songs for the year and played them in the group.

What did you think of yours? Or is it not really your thing? 🎶

Music plays a huge role in formulating, developing and expressing our identities.

The music we listen to helps us decide and share who we are. Try asking yourself…

🎶 What music is meaningful to you and WHY?

🎶 How much of yourself are you willing to share with others?

I feel incredibly lucky to do the job that I do because music can tell us so much without having to say a word.

Musical experiences can create uniquely amazing connections between people and tell our stories in ways we might not feel able to otherwise. 🌻

Music therapists are health professionals who do a lot more than entertain.

Check out this list!
Is there anything that surprised you?

Happy Monday everyone! ☀️

I thought I’d start the week with some life advice from some of our favourite musicians.

Which is your favourite?
Are there any others that you love and live by?

After a bit of a break, I thought I’d introduce myself again!

I’m Gabbi, the founder of Mood Indigo Music Therapy. I’m 28 years old, living & working in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia.

A little fun fact about me: when I was little, I wanted to grow up to be either a jockey or a singer. I guess 1 out of 2 ain’t bad 😜.

One of the most common things I’m asked when I tell people that I’m a Music Therapist is:

Who would use music therapy?
OR
What are your clients like? 🤔

and I think that this snippet from the AMTA website sums it up well.

So in essence…anyone and everyone! Could it be you? ☺️🌻

I’m back! 👋🏻

it’s been a long social media hiatus for this music therapist, but I finally feel like it’s time to get back into it.

if i’m being honest, I had become completely burnt out; and in some ways I still am. I’ve spent the past year jumping on every opportunity but still feeling like I’m in the same place I started in after I graduated.

But in a world of uncertainty, the one thing I have control over is myself & the music therapist that I want to be. Mood Indigo was created to represent both these things, so what better place to be than right here? 😄

I hope you’ll stay with me while I figure this all out one step at a time! 💜
