Frequently asked questions

What is music therapy for children?

Music therapy uses singing, instruments, rhythm and movement, guided by a qualified music therapist, to support communication, emotional regulation, social skills and motor development.

Which children can benefit from music therapy?

Children with developmental delays, autism, speech and language needs, sensory differences or emotional challenges often respond well. No musical experience is needed.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions can be offered in clinic, at home, at school or kindergarten, depending on availability. Contact us to confirm the best option for your family.

Can I use NDIS funding for music therapy?

Music therapy may be funded under NDIS Capacity Building supports for eligible participants. Please check your plan and contact us to discuss payment options.
