Welcome to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Australia

Who we are

Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Australia is an inspirational, not-for-profit organisation providing Clinical Music Therapy and Community Music Programs. We deliver outstanding health outcomes for our clients and transform their lives through music.

What we do

Our network of highly trained and accredited music therapists works with people of all ages and with a wide range of abilities and conditions. We deliver thousands of music therapy sessions per year in (aged) care homes, community settings, hospitals, (special needs) schools, disability organisations and our own centres. We also offer a rich diversity of workshops and professional supervision/education forums.

Through music we can help to:

• Improve physical health and ability


• Address emotional and behavioural difficulties


• Develop communication and social skills


• Increase creativity, self-esteem and confidence

Philosophy

At the heart of Creative Music Therapy is the belief that there is an inborn musicality residing in every human being that can be activated in the service of personal growth and development. It is out of our innate responsiveness to music that music therapy arises. Creative Music Therapy was developed as a therapeutic approach in which practitioners are trained in assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of clinical programs.

Our mission

To help people reach their full potential through the healing power of music.
