Therapy - Music Therapist - NDIA Requested Reports

Line Item Description

Line item 15_615_0128_1_3_RR covers the time required for a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) to write detailed clinical reports specifically requested by the NDIA or my NDIS contact prior to a participant's plan reassessment. These reports provide key evidence outlining functional progress, goal outcomes, and evidence-based recommendations for ongoing therapeutic support.

What Can Be Claimed
* NDIA Progress Reports: Drafting formal progress reports requested by the NDIA to evaluate therapy efficacy before a plan is created or changed.
* Functional Capacity Evaluations: Summarising measurable functional gains, skill maintenance, or changes in capacity achieved through music therapy.
* Ongoing Clinical Recommendations: Documenting evidence-based recommendations for future therapy frequency, updated functional goals, or multidisciplinary strategies.
* Life Transition Assessments: Providing detailed clinical evaluations when a participant undergoes major life transitions, such as moving homes, leaving school, or starting employment.

Provider & Delivery Requirements
* Qualifications: Written by a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) who holds an accredited university degree in music therapy and is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association.
* Formal NDIA Request: Claimable when the NDIA explicitly requests a progress report or assessment to determine if therapy meets NDIS funding criteria.
* Excluded Supports: Cannot be billed for standard session notes, routine attendance updates, or unrequested administrative documentation.
