The NDIS Review into music and art therapy project, led by Dr Stephen Duckett AM, will be extended until Thursday, 17 April 2025.
This will allow time to properly consider all of the information collected from around 600 submissions.
NDIS participants can continue to access music and art therapy through their current arrangements during the review process.
NDIS providers may continue claiming at current pricing levels as listed in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements.
Art and music therapy are NDIS supports. This review is not considering whether music and art therapy will remain approved NDIS supports, but rather their effectiveness and appropriate price levels.
Regardless of the review findings, music and art therapy will remain part of the NDIS for eligible participants.
Once the final report has been received, the NDIA will consider the findings and finalise its operational guidance later this year.
Any proposed changes will not come into operation until after the review is completed and the relevant findings are considered.
