World Music Therapy Week 10-15 April

17/06/2025

What happens when music meets therapy? When a registered music therapist is involved, life changes can happen. This World Music Therapy Week, tune in for stories about the impact of music therapy. If you're just learning about music therapy, here's a warm-up:

🎶 Music therapy is evidence-based, and its body of research continues to grow.

🎹 It's provided by allied health professionals who are uniquely qualified to use music as a therapeutic intervention.

🎤 It's regulated by the Australian Music Therapy Association, a member of Allied Health Professions Australia and National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions

🎸People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds benefit from music therapy.

🥁 Music therapy is an NDIS-funded support and part of several government-funded programs.

🎺 You'll find registered music therapists in hospitals, clinics, schools, prisons, community centres and working with other allied health professionals like speech pathologists, occupationsl therapists, physiotherapists and more.
