Australia's NDIS alters funding for music and art therapies, reclassifying them to change access and costs.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia will change how it funds music and art therapies starting February 1, 2025. Participants can still access these therapies, but the funding rates will differ for individual and group sessions. Music and art therapy won't be classified as 'therapy' under the NDIS due to current evidentiary standards. The changes aim to enhance community inclusion but have raised concerns about accessibility and funding for therapists.
