NDIA announce independent review of NDIS funded music and art supports
The NDIA is commissioning an independent review of appropriate NDIS pricing for music and art supports, based on available evidence.
Dr Stephen Duckett AM will undertake the review ahead of the operation of the Expert Advisory Committee by July 2025. Dr Duckett is an experienced health economist who has occupied several leadership roles in health services, leading reform and evidence-based innovations in health care.
The review will assess:
- The review of evidence of effectiveness of art and music therapy for people with disability
- Qualifications and registration of music and art practitioners
- Pricing of art and music support
The Agency has deferred the release of the operational guidance clarifying decision making on therapy supports, which is required under recent Government changes to the NDIS Act, and any associated price guide changes.
