Music Therapy Funding Melbourne

Music Therapy is a widely recognised allied health profession, sitting alongside other therapeutic  modalities like physiotherapy, speech pathology and occupational therapy.

​Many hospitals, special schools and aged care facilities include music therapy in their programs and despite increasing awareness of its effectiveness, there are unfortunately no current medicare rebates available for private music therapy in the community.

This can make it exceedingly challenging for clients to prioritise in their budget when they are already paying for other treatments and services. Thankfully there are some wonderful organisations who have recognised this and do fund Music Therapy for eligible recipients in the community. We know of a few around Melbourne and have included these below:
Robert Connor Dawes Foundation

​Helping Children with Autism (HCWA)

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Brain Cancer (aged Birth to 25 years)

Autism Spectrum Disorders

Disability
​
We're sure there are others so will update this list as we learn more. We'd love to hear from you if you know of any!

There are also organisations who may fund Music Therapy once you're already linked in with them, such as paediatric palliative care services and child support programs. And it's worth mentioning that whilst Music Therapy might be funded by an organisation or charity, it often won't be indicated on their website, so it is definitely worth speaking up and asking. The clients of ours who have been proactive and persistent are the ones who have secured funding!
The Australian Music Therapy Association are making great strides towards ensuring Music Therapy will be eligible for government rebates in the future, but until then, we continue to be grateful to the organisations who recognise its effectiveness and support those who need it most by funding Music Therapy.

I like how you referenced that handicap support gatherings can assist you with your obligations. A companion of mine referenced to me the previous evening that he is expecting to find a handicap support bunch for his companion and inquired as to whether I know what is the most ideal choice to do. Because of this enlightening article and I'll make certain to let him know that he can attempt to counsel a believed inability support bunch administration as they can respond to every one of his requests.
