If you are an NDIS participant, did you know that you can use your NDIS plan to help fund your Music Therapy sessions?
Music Therapy can be accessed using a participant’s Capacity Building budget.

How do I access music therapy?
Music therapy is provided as an allied health service, in the same way as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and many others. If you have funding under ‘Capacity Building Improved Daily Living’, you may choose to use that funding, or part of that funding, for music therapy.
