-Explore a variety of instruments and musical equipment to maintain and nurture motivation, curiosity and joy in music.

✨ Last week we had the absolute pleasure of delivering a Key Word Sign workshop for Cumberland City Council! ✨

It was wonderful to see an organisation so committed to empowering their staff with practical, inclusive communication skills. By upskilling their team, they’re strengthening their capacity to support the children, families, and communities they work with every day. 💛🤟

Thank you to the amazing participants for your enthusiasm, energy, and willingness to learn — what a fantastic group!

Trust the process!

In music therapy, connection and trust is prioritized. When our participants feel comfortable to be themselves, often our therapy spaces become a little noisy and chaotic! While this may appear on the outside as just a bit of fun, this is actually when the real work starts: maintaining therapeutic trust, upholding neurodiversity affirming principles as well as working towards supporting participants in achieving their goals.

Also, who said therapy needed to be boring?

Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of people with disabilities on International Day of People with Disabilities. I would like to also highlight the critical need for accessible supports like music therapy, which provides connection, communication, and empowerment for thousands of families. Recent challenges with the inclusion of music therapy under the NDIS impact the lives of over 8,000 families. It’s essential that we continue advocating for choice and control in the supports people need, ensuring they are tailored to every individual’s unique goals and circumstances. Together, let’s build a more inclusive future where every voice is heard, valued, and supported. 💜🎵 Why Music Therapy?�Because it’s so much more than music—it’s a pathway to growth, confidence, and meaningful achievements.Thank you to everyone advocating for inclusion and equity for people with disabilities. Let’s continue to raise awareness and drive positive change! 💪bio)

🚨 We ask that Minister Shorten reverse his decision. Music Therapy is an EVIDENCE BASED ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSION 🚨

From Feb 1, 2025, Music Therapy will only be funded if: 

1️⃣ It’s a stated support in a participant’s plan (only 1–2% of current MT clients currently have this). 2️⃣ It’s funded under Social and Community Participation, at a reduced rate for “classes” or “enjoyment” (as Bill Shorten states) by a NDIS registered provider

⚠️ This is NOT Music Therapy!
* Music Therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession, led by Registered Music Therapists (RMTs).
* RMTs achieve functional outcomes in areas like communication, motor skills, and cognition, using research-backed approaches. It looks like “fun” and “enjoyment” but there is so much more to it!

💔 This decision: ❌ Undermines participant choice and control. ❌ Excludes most participants from accessing vital therapy. ❌ Risks driving qualified therapists out of the field.

💪 What Can You Do? ✔️ Sign & Share Our Petition (Link in bio). ✔️ Speak Up: Email [email protected] or contact your MP.
Music Therapy is more than just “fun” and “doing music”. Let’s protect this essential service for NDIS participants!
