Frequently Asked Questions

We sure are! Registered Music Therapists (RMTs) in Australia must complete a 2-year Masters program which includes 640 hours of clinical placement. That means every RMT has at least 5 years of tertiary study including their chosen Bachelor degree.

​

In addition to this, we must be accredited by the Australian Music Therapy Association which is the peak regulatory body for all RMTs in Australia. To keep our accreditation, we must complete annual professional development just like all other allied health professions. 

Music Therapy Assistants (MTAs) at Kindred are either currently studying their Master of Music Therapy, or intend to study this when they finish their Bachelor. Each are carefully chosen for their music skills, dedication and knowledge of the therapeutic process. 

​​

All MTAs are required to attend monthly 1:1 online supervisions with Ash in order to maintain quality of care across the therapeutic journey. Ash is also in regular contact with the client themselves, and/or parents as appropriate. In addition to this, all MTAs are required to attend a monthly group supervision.
