We offer a range of session types to assist in meeting a variety of therapeutic needs.
We offer individual sessions for private clients across a broad spectrum of therapeutic needs, abilities, and ages, including adolescents, adults and children. These are typically conducted in the client's home, which enables a comfortable dynamic along with a generalisable context for music activities. Depending on individual needs and therapeutic goals, sessions can also take place at a day program centre, school or other site.
We provide group programs for disability service centres and group homes, supporting a wide range of health and wellbeing outcomes. Group sessions take place in group homes, day program centres and other disability support centres. Group music therapy sessions are valuable supports for a wide range of therapeutic goals, particularly those with social outcomes. Note that groups are currently only available to day services and group homes.
Some of our services are registered under the NDIS, and we're experienced in creating programs aligned with participants' overarching goals and support plans. This applies to both individual clients and groups. In groups, it is possible for some participants to be NDIS clients and others privately funded.
We are expanding our team of qualified practitioners to include specialists in drama therapy and dance movement therapy. These fall under the banner of the creative arts therapies and are closely related to music therapy. It is possible for these services to be funded as therapeutic supports in NDIS plans.
We run on a 10-week term schedule, with term breaks coinciding with Victorian school holidays. Following an initial 1-3 sessions for assessment, it is preferred that clients commit to a full term. This structure provides a beneficial routine that supports longer-term outcomes. It also enables the most effective scheduling for all clients, and allows funding to be allocated in a timely manner.
Upon request, we will prepare documents such as progress reports and letters of support. The fee for these services can be covered by your NDIS funding. Initial assessments are provided free of charge. See our fees page for more information.
As a mobile provider that works in homes, centres and schools, we charge a provider travel fee as per allied health industry standard. The cost depends on the amount time spent in transit to your session location from the previous provider location, and is charged for travel one-way only. These fees are based on NDIS guidelines and can be covered within your plan under the same category as session fees.
