Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession that supports people to improve their health and well-being.

It can help people of all ages to manage their physical & mental health and enhance their quality of life as they understand it to be. This is made individually to each person’s needs and goals by a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) who is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA).
