At Music for Canberra, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities through music and community engagement. We strive to make our programs accessible to all, and NDIS funding may be a valuable resource to help you or your loved ones become actively involved in our inclusive music activities.
Participants attend these group sessions with their support workers, who are expected to play an active role in the class.
If you have self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funding, we encourage you to have a conversation with your NDIS support coordinator. They can guide you on how to use your funding to pursue your goals in music and community participation.
Music for Canberra offers programs that support these goals and can provide the information you need to make informed decisions. If your NDIS funding is NDIA-managed, please remember that you can only access services through NDIS-registered providers. We suggest speaking with your provider about the possibility of joining Music for Canberra programs and exploring options to support your participation.
