Did you know that more than 14,000 NDIS participants accessed art and music therapy last year?

An independent review has confirmed the NDIS will keep funding art and music therapy if it’s delivered by qualified therapists and linked to a participant's disability-related needs and goals.

Here's what we know so far:
✔️ A new price limit of $156.16 per hour will take effect from 24 November 2025
✔️ Only qualified therapists registered with AMTA (music therapy) or ANZACATA (art therapy) can deliver these supports
✔️ NDIS funding will only cover therapeutic sessions - not general art or music classes, lessons or materials
✔️ Group therapy rules will still apply (for example, costs are split when more than one participant is supported).

Not sure whether these changes affect you? The Leap in! Crew is here to help you understand what’s included in your plan and explore your options.

🚨Changes are happening to Queensland’s blue card system 🚨

Since 1 July 2025, a phased approach has been rolling out to strengthen safeguards for children.

The changes include:
- new types of child-related work requiring a blue card
- new exemptions and stronger self-disclosure laws
- a simpler decision-making and disqualification process
- stronger compliance and suspension powers
- standardisation of the volunteer parent exemption

If you’re part of a sporting organisation, now’s the time to make sure your club is compliant and ready for these changes.

Blue Card Services are on the road — running workshops, events and information sessions across regional Queensland.

As a registered provider, when did you last check the NDIS Worker Screening Database (NWSD)?

Every five years, NDIS workers in risk-assessed roles must renew their NDIS Worker Screening Check to continue holding a clearance. As the checks were first introduced on 1st February 2021, some workers’ checks will start to expire from 1st February 2026.

Now is a good time to log in to the NWSD to:

✔️ Check when your workers’ clearances are due to expire
✔️ Unlink employees who no longer work for you
