NDIS Music Therapy

Registered Music Therapists (RMT) are musicians who have completed a Bachelor of Music and an Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) accredited tertiary course.

Through ongoing professional development and recency of practice activities approved by the AMTA, your RMT will have a thorough understanding of how music and influence behaviours, feeling and thinking and will incorporate a range of music-making methods to address individual client goals.

In each session your Music Therapist will use their therapy training and musical ability to facilitate interactive musical experiences to help you achieve your goals.

Some music-based techniques include using instruments, singing and movement. For example, if your objective is to improve fine motor skills and coordination, your session might focus more on using instruments like drums or guitar. If you are wanting to improve your speech, your therapist might focus on singing.

Our Music Therapists use a series of evidence-based techniques to build your skills. These techniques can incorporate an active process where you take part in creating music, or a passive one that involves listening or responding to music.

Some methods of Music Therapy include using instruments to make music, singing, writing songs, dancing, listening to music, or simply discussing music. Your therapist will determine which methods are best suited to you based on your set goals and objectives
