Art and Music Therapy in 2025: Navigating New NDIS Rules with Starlight Care

Starlight Care NDIS Provider Sydney - Therapy Funding Changes

Art and music therapy can significantly enhance the well-being and functional development of NDIS participants. However, new NDIS guidelines in 2025 have introduced funding caps for these therapies, requiring participants to demonstrate the benefits to retain funding. Starlight Care provides expert guidance to ensure participants can continue accessing these essential supports.

Understanding the 2025 Therapy Funding Changes

  1. Hourly Caps: One-on-one therapy sessions now have a capped rate of $68 per hour.
  2. Eligibility Criteria: Participants must provide evidence that these therapies improve or maintain functional capacity.

These updates aim to prioritize therapies with proven outcomes and effectiveness.
