How do I include JAM music therapy as part of my NDIS plan?

​​

 

• Request a letter of support and a quote for services from JAM music therapy. Two weeks notice for the preparation of an NDIS report is recommended, however always ask if your timeline is shorter.

​

• Request music therapy as a  Allied Health Support in your first planning meeting.

​

• Music therapy is an Allied Health Profession and a member of the Allied Health Professions Association and NASRHP (National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions) and is supported by the NDIS when deemed reasonable and necessary and delivered by a registered music therapist.

Please contact us if you are advised to the contrary.

​

•  JAM is a registered provider with the NDIS and supports participants who are Self-managed, Plan managed, and NDIA-managed.​

•  All JAM music therapists are fully qualified and registered with the Australian Music Therapy  Association. Please always ask music therapists for their registration number and cross check with the Australian Music Therapy Association to ensure you are accessing a registered music therapist.
