What is home music therapy?
Music therapy is a clinical allied health discipline in which a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) uses structured, goal-directed musical activities, such as singing, rhythm work, and instrument play, to address physical, cognitive, emotional, or social goals. It requires a music therapy degree and registration with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA, 2025), the recognised professional body for the profession in Australia. Delivered at home, sessions use the person’s own environment and familiar music.
For a person in New South Wales living with dementia, holding sessions at home means familiar songs and surroundings do part of the work. Music tied to earlier life can settle agitation and prompt speech or memory that a clinic room does not.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Music therapy is used most often for people living with dementia, autism, acquired brain injury, or Parkinson’s disease, and for older adults experiencing isolation or low mood. Under the NDIS, it is funded through the Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living budget at the Therapeutic Supports price limit of $156.16 per hour (NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2026-27). Under Support at Home, which replaced Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025, it is claimed as an allied health item against the participant’s package budget (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Music therapy went through the same Duckett Review as art therapy in 2025 and kept its funding at the same rate; our NDIS art therapy funding guide covers that review outcome in detail.
A music therapist visiting someone in New South Wales usually starts by learning that person’s own musical history, the songs from their youth or culture, and builds sessions around it rather than a fixed playlist.
Finding a Music Therapist in New South Wales
Registered Music Therapists are fewer in number than physiotherapists or OTs, so availability in New South Wales varies more by area. When comparing options, check that the practitioner holds current RMT registration with the AMTA, and ask whether they have experience with the specific goal at hand, since work for a child with autism differs from work on an adult’s Parkinson’s-related speech goal. Home visits also depend on travel radius, so confirm the therapist covers New South Wales before booking.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo lists 2,619 aged care providers and 28,004 NDIS providers across 4,782 suburbs, ranked using the criteria explained above. For related motor and rehabilitation goals, see physiotherapy.
