Music Therapy & the NDIS: Clearing Up the Confusion ๐ต
Thereโs been a lot of uncertainty lately around Music Therapy and the NDIS, so we want to help set the record straight.
โ๏ธ Music Therapy is still a recognised therapeutic support under the NDIS
โ๏ธ It can be funded through Capacity Building โ Improved Daily Living when itโs reasonable and necessary
โ๏ธ It must be delivered by a Registered Music Therapist (RMT)
โ๏ธ Therapy needs to clearly link to your NDIS goals and functional outcomes
Recent reviews and rule changes have caused understandable concern, but music therapy has not been removed from the NDIS. What matters most is that supports are evidence-based, goal-aligned, and delivered by qualified professionals.
Weโve shared a new blog breaking this down in simple terms, based on guidance from the Australian Music Therapy Association.
