“Since day 1 of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), music therapy has been a funded therapeutic support.
On Friday, the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) discovered that the NDIS will remove music therapy from the Capacity Building–Improved Daily Living category.
No-one in the music therapy community was consulted about this decision.
Neither the NDIA nor the Department of Social Services has provided a reason for the decision.”
