"Express, Heal, Grow: Art and Music Therapy for NDIS Participants"

Creative expression is more than just a pastime—it’s a pathway to personal growth, emotional healing, and enhanced daily living. Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), art and music therapy are recognised as powerful, therapeutic tools that support individuals in reaching their goals and improving their overall well-being.

What Are Art and Music Therapy?

Art and music therapy involve structured, evidence-based approaches led by qualified therapists. These sessions go beyond recreational activity; they’re purposefully designed to support emotional, cognitive, social, and physical development.

Through painting, drawing, listening to or playing music, and other guided creative tasks, participants can experience:

• Greater emotional expression and regulation

• Improved fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination

• Enhanced communication and social interaction

• Boosted confidence and self-awareness

  
  

These therapies provide a safe, supportive space where participants can explore their creativity, process emotions, and build valuable life skills.

NDIS and Creative Therapy: A Recognised Support

Under the NDIS, art and music therapy may be included in your plan under Capacity Building or Improved Daily Living supports. These therapies are especially valuable for individuals with:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Intellectual disabilities

• Mental health conditions

• Neurological or developmental disorders

  
  

Tailored to the participant's unique goals, these sessions can play a key role in promoting independence, emotional well-being, and community participation.
