Not sure between weekly and fortnightly? Don’t choose yet. A therapist should hear the goal before anyone suggests a frequency, so the first step is a free 15-minute phone chat.
Start with the free callHow a term works
Four steps. The first one is free, and the last one is a document you keep.
A 15-minute phone chat
You tell us who the sessions are for and what you are hoping for. We tell you how we would shape a term, or that we are not the right fit.
One goal, in plain words
In the first session we agree one goal with you and write it down, so everyone in the room knows what the term is for.
Ten weeks, same therapist
Weekly or fortnightly, the same therapist at the same time slot. Clinic, your home, or the aged-care home’s lounge.
The report after week 10
What we did each week, what we noticed, and what we suggest next. That can be another term, fewer sessions, or stopping.
What families and coordinators say
“The phone call took about twelve minutes and nobody tried to sell me a term. We went fortnightly because of the budget, and the therapist said that was a perfectly good way to start.”
“Mum’s sessions are in the lounge at her aged-care home on Thursday mornings. The therapist brings a guitar and a basket of shakers, and leaves a short note in the staff folder afterwards.”
“I need the full cost before a plan review. The report fee was in the first number they gave me, not an invoice that turned up later.”

Questions people ask before they ring
What is a registered music therapist?
In Australia, a registered music therapist (RMT) is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association. To register, a music therapist completes an AMTA-accredited university course in music therapy, meets AMTA’s professional standards, and keeps up ongoing professional development.
AMTA keeps a public directory of registered music therapists on its website, so you can look a therapist up before you book.
Does my child need to be musical?
No. Nobody needs to read music, sing in tune or have had lessons. Sessions use instruments anyone can make a sound on straight away: drums, shakers, a keyboard, a guitar the therapist plays, and voices.
If your child already plays something, bring it along.
Clinic or home visit?
The session is the same length and the same therapist either way. The clinic has more instruments and no drive for us, so it costs less. A home visit adds $30 a session and suits people for whom the trip itself is the hard part.
For residents of an aged-care home, we come to the home.
How does NDIS funding work for music therapy?
The NDIA describes three ways a plan can be managed: self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed. With plan management, a plan manager pays your providers for you. Which funding a session can come from, and at what rate, depends on your plan and how it is managed.
The NDIA has changed its guidance on music therapy more than once recently, so we don’t print a rule here that may already be out of date. We can tell you how your plan type affects this on the phone. Have your plan handy. The fees on this page are ours.
What is in the term report?
Two or three pages in plain English: the goal as we agreed it in week 1, what we did in each session, what we noticed, and what we suggest next. That might be another term, going fortnightly, or stopping.
No scores and no percentages. It is written so you can hand it to a GP, a school or a support coordinator as it is.
What if we miss a week?
Let us know at least 24 hours before and we move the session to the end of the term, so you still get all of them. The term runs a little longer; the report waits until the last session.
If someone is unwell on the day, ring us anyway. We would rather talk it through than send a bill.

Thanks. Nothing has been sent.
