Frequently asked questions
Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health service that uses music to support people with disability to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing.
A registered music therapist (RMT), has completed a relevant postgraduate qualification in music therapy in a university in Australia. They are also registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association.
A music therapist’s role is to support you in achieving their goals. This could be by creating programs to improve your overall well-being, communication, emotional expression, motor skills, cognitive functioning, and social interaction.
No, you don’t need to have musical skills to participate or benefit in music therapy. Music therapists plan and provide musical experiences that are uniquely tailored to your needs and goals.
Yes, you can pay for music therapy from your NDIS plan. Music therapy is funded under the 'Improved Daily Living' category of your NDIS Capacity Building Supports budget.
The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports to help people living with disability.
What is considered reasonable and necessary will vary according to each person’s needs. Read more about what is considered reasonable and necessary in the following FAQ.
Not everyone with NDIS funding can access music therapy. Generally, you will be able to use your plan to cover allied health supports, but it’s important to check that the service you’re after relates to your disability and is considered ‘reasonable and necessary’.
If you can answer YES to each of these 6 questions, the NDIS is likely to fund your request.
- Is this a product or service you need due to a disability?
- Does it help you meet your goals?
- Is it reasonable value for money?
- Is there evidence that this product or service is effective?
- Is this something that you wouldn’t be able to receive from your family or the community?
- Is the NDIS the most suitable funding scheme to pay for this support?
No, if you have an NDIS plan and your need for music therapy is related to your disability, you do not need a referral to see a music therapist. The team at HeyHubble can connect you with NDIS music therapists.
Funding for music therapy can come from your Capacity Building budget in your NDIS plan, under the funding category ‘Improved Daily Living’.
If you have funds allocated to this category as part of your NDIS plan, you can access these allied health support services. If your current budget is allocated to other categories and you’d like to access music therapy, you can make changes at your next plan review.
An NDIS music therapist can charge up to $193.99/hr per hour in metro areas as part of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These arrangements govern the maximum price a provider can charge NDIS participants for their services.
They only apply to funding that is agency-managed or plan-managed. If you self-manage your funding, these price limits don't apply to you.
Participants in other states, regional and remote areas may have different price limits.
Refer to the most recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits to check what price limit applies to you.
