Registered, trauma-informed music therapy for individuals and small groups. NDIS claimable, delivered by a Masters-qualified AMTA Registered Music Therapist.
Registered Music Therapy is recognised by the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) and delivered only by practitioners with accredited postgraduate qualifications.
Music therapy is the evidence-based, planned use of music by a qualified practitioner to support mental, emotional, physical, cognitive, social and spiritual wellbeing.
Every session is shaped around the individual. Depending on the goal, we might use live instruments, voice, songwriting, improvisation, receptive listening, rhythmic entrainment or guided relaxation. The practitioner holds the clinical frame. You do not need to be musical, sing in tune, or even talk.
Sessions are trauma-informed. The nervous system is the primary collaborator. We move at the pace of the body, not the pace of the agenda.
"Music therapy is not about music. It is about the person in the room and what music can help them move through."
Funding pathways include NDIS (Improved Community Participation, Therapeutic Supports), private pay, health fund rebates through affiliated allied health providers, and organisational or aged care contracts.
Clinical music therapy meets people wherever they are, whatever the diagnosis. No musical background required.
Anxiety, depression, mood regulation, emotional expression, self-compassion. Music as a non-verbal container for what is hard to say.
Autism, ADHD, sensory processing, communication goals. Rhythm and resonance meet the system where it is.
Music therapy at end of life: legacy, meaning, emotional integration and bedside support. Grounded, warm, non-performative.
Developmental work, early intervention, parent-child sessions. Play-based, safe, relational.
Small group programs in community and residential settings. Connection, participation, belonging.
Ongoing therapeutic support for long-term conditions. Consistency, trust, measured progress.
A short conversation, a plan, a direction. We clarify goals, discuss funding, and agree on frequency.
NDIS plan review, clinical goals, funding verification. Usually completed by phone before the first session.
The first sessions are exploratory. The practitioner meets the body, the voice, and the space before any intervention is formed.
Two to four sessions. Observations only. Written assessment summary shared with the referrer and family.
Regular 45 to 60 minute sessions. Live instruments, voice, improvisation, receptive work, or silence - whatever the system asks for.
Ongoing intervention. Evidence-based methods matched to each goal. Progress tracked session by session.
Structured review points. Progress notes, NDIS reports, and clinical summaries provided where relevant.
Quarterly structured reviews. NDIS-ready progress reports. Adjustments made to goals and methods as needed.
From one to one clinical work, to small groups, to in-home support. All led by a single Registered Music Therapist.
Goal-directed, trauma-informed. 45 to 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly. NDIS claimable for eligible participants.
Sessions delivered at home, in school, or in residential care. Especially suited to paediatric, palliative, and mobility-limited clients.
Small therapeutic groups in community and residential settings. Social, developmental and emotional goals.
Specialist bedside music therapy in home, hospice or hospital. See the dedicated End of Life page for full detail.
Every clinical session is grounded in postgraduate training, AMTA professional registration, and NDIS provider obligations. Credentials are not a marketing claim. They are the floor.
Across mental health, paediatrics, palliative, neurodiversity, community and long-term work.
Incredible session. Highly recommend for stress relief.
Our son looks forward to every session. It is the one hour of the week that is genuinely his.
The body already knows how to rest. Sometimes it just needs permission.
Rodney met my mother with music when words had left her. The last gift of her life.
Our daughter started humming at home after eight weeks. She had not vocalised in two years.
The group program gave my dad a reason to come out of his room. That alone was worth it.
I have been seeing Rodney for six months. It has been the most consistent, safe relational space I have ever had.
A place for the feelings that do not yet have words. My son has one now.
The NDIS report was one of the clearest, most readable clinical summaries our planner received.
Music therapy gave my teenager a language for her anxiety. We could finally talk about it.
Thirty minutes, no obligation. The space to work out whether clinical music therapy is the right fit for what you or your client are holding right now.
