Music therapy has always been and continues to be a NDIS Funded Support.
In late November 2024, the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) was made aware of a leaked decision to remove music therapy as a NDIS support in the absence of any consultation.
After sustained advocacy by participants, the AMTA and music therapy professionals, the NDIA has acknowledged that due process was not followed and they will be conducting a review of the evidence for music therapy in 2025.
Music therapy is supported by a strong evidence base and delivers significant functional outcomes for participants. Music therapy professionals who deliver this therapeutic support are university-qualified and meet the stringent registration and ongoing compliance requirements set out by the AMTA as a member of the National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions (NASRHP).
Music therapy will continue to be a funded support under NDIS till the review is completed.
