We know many of you have been worried about changes to art and music therapy in the NDIS.
The NDIA has now released the independent report, which recommended:
1. The price limit for art and music therapy will drop to $156.16 (previously $193.99).
2. To be funded, therapists must be qualified and registered with their industry body.
These changes start on 24 November 2025. A new NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee will also keep reviewing art and music therapy.
It's good news that art and music therapy will continue to be funded by the NDIS. But we understand many families will be disappointed about the price cuts.
