Every term, your Learning and Support Team is asked to do more with the same hours: track progress against individual goals, generate defensible evidence for funding reviews, and demonstrate wellbeing and learning-culture outcomes — on top of full teaching loads. Most external providers make this worse before they make it better: they need onboarding, they don't speak the language of school compliance, and their reporting creates a second admin job rather than removing one.
What You Get
Goal-mapped documentation, automatically — every session note written against students' actual individual plans, not generic clinical notes staff have to translate.
Audit-ready evidence — documentation structured from day one to stand up to funding/compliance review.
Full-cohort coverage in one visit — structured group sessions across support classrooms in a single visit, no core lesson blocks interrupted.
Registered clinicians, not contractors learning on the job — AMTA-Registered Music Therapists only.
You don't have to take this on faith. Before any commitment, a Registered Music Therapist runs a free Clinical Consultation & Demonstration in your classrooms. Your team sees the model running with your own students, against your own safety protocols, before you decide anything. If it isn't an obvious fit, there's no next step required.
No obligation, no cost — just a direct look at whether this fits your school.
For Schools
The Full Program, In Detail
Full-cohort coverage in one visit — structured group sessions across support classrooms in a single visit, no core lesson blocks interrupted.
Goal-mapped documentation, automatically — every session note written against students' actual individual plans, not generic clinical notes staff have to translate.
Audit-ready evidence — documentation structured from day one to stand up to funding/compliance review.
Reinforces what staff already teach — built around each school's existing behavioural and wellbeing strategies, not run alongside them.
Zero setup labour for staff — self-contained mobile kits, full setup and pack-down handled by the clinician.
Registered clinicians, not contractors learning on the job — AMTA-Registered Music Therapists only.
No two sessions run the same. Each session adapts in real time to the group's state on the day — so time is never spent on an activity that isn't landing. This is standard clinical practice, not a premium feature — but it's exactly what separates a Registered Music Therapist from a generalist program.
Group Music Therapy
The base offering. Structured small-group sessions on a regular timetable, ready to start without a lengthy design process.
Customised Specialised Groups
Built around your students. Where there's a clear fit, sessions can be shaped further around specific student interests, sensory profiles, or developmental goals, developed collaboratively with school staff.
Documentation, delivered weekly
Documentation doesn't wait until term's end. Every week, your team receives a summary covering each class group — session activities, individual progress against goals, and clearly flagged evidence — so you always have something current to draw on, whether that's for a parent meeting, a funding review, or your own records. A full term or annual summary is also available on request.
Find Your Fit
Which sounds like your school?
Government Schools
We speak PLSP and NCCD, and build documentation your team can hand straight to your school's moderation and audit process.
We intentionally work with a limited number of schools each term, so every school we work with gets full clinical attention — not a stretched, one-size-fits-all service.
Also Available
NDIS-funded individual sessions, delivered on-site. INSYNC also delivers one-on-one, NDIS-funded music therapy sessions on school premises, during or after school hours — a genuine, individually funded option alongside the group program above.
For students with disability or disadvantage, being part of something — truly part of it — can be rare. DoE-funded school group sessions create exactly that: a space where every student participates, contributes, and is witnessed by their peers.
DoE-funded group sessions in support units and behavioural support
Aligned with each student's individual learning plan
Focuses on regulation, communication & social skills
Highly collaborative with classroom and learning support staff
🎵
NDIS Music Therapy
Music therapy offers a different perspective — activating enthusiasm, engagement, and skills that other therapies often can't reach. We align NDIS, parent, and participant goals to create spontaneous, engaging sessions that drive real progress.
Individual sessions only
Goal-aligned to your NDIS plan
Progress reports & support coordinator liaison
Self-managed & plan-managed
🤝
Adult Disability Music Therapy
Adulthood doesn't mean therapy stops mattering — it means the goals change. We work alongside adults with disability in SIL homes, day programs, and community settings, building sessions around choice, connection, and the things that matter to each person, not a childhood program stretched to fit.
Individual & group sessions available
Delivered in SIL homes, day programs & community settings
Person-led goals, not just family-directed
Self-managed & plan-managed NDIS participants

INSYNC Band Project
There's something that happens when a group of kids who've never played music before suddenly make something together. The INSYNC Band Project exists for that moment — when they stop being individuals practising and start being a band.
Groups of 4–5 students, mixed experience levels
Broad exposure to a range of instruments
Focus on musicianship & playing together
Privately funded
💛
Aged Care Sessions
A song can reach someone when words can't. For aged care residents — especially those living with dementia — music reconnects people to themselves and to each other in ways that are profound and often unexpected.
Group & individual sessions
Dementia-informed approach
Delivered on-site at your facility

Staff Training & Professional Development
Teachers don't need to be musicians to use music meaningfully. This PD program exists because the principles behind music therapy — regulation, connection, engagement — belong in every classroom, not just therapy sessions.
Your Learning and Support Team already works inside a specific framework — Personalised Learning and Support Plans, NCCD evidence categories, and a moderation and audit process your school is answerable to each year. We don't ask you to translate our documentation into that language; it's written in it from the start.
PLSP-aligned goals — session notes are written against each student's actual Personalised Learning and Support Plan, not a generic clinical template.
NCCD-ready evidence — documentation categorised the way your school's moderation process expects, from the first session.
No extra translation work — your LST can hand our reports straight into your existing NCCD evidence file.
Fits inside the school day — full-cohort group sessions delivered without pulling core lesson blocks apart.
Catholic systemic schools work with the same national NCCD evidence categories as government schools, just administered through your diocese rather than the Department directly. Our documentation is built to fit straight into that process — no extra translation, no reformatting, no second admin job for your staff.
NCCD-based evidence — structured to align with what your diocese's funding review actually asks for.
Individual plan-aligned — session notes written against each student's real support plan, whatever your school calls it internally.
Delivered weekly, not termly — your team always has current documentation on hand, not a scramble at reporting time.
Registered clinicians only — AMTA-Registered Music Therapists, not contractors learning on the job.
A comprehensive or intensive setting deserves more than a one-size group package stretched to fit. We don't start by pitching a set program — we start by understanding your students' specific profiles, your existing behavioural and sensory strategies, and where music therapy can genuinely add something your current supports don't already cover.
Consultative from the first conversation — no fixed package sold before we understand your setting.
Built around individual sensory-physical profiles — including low-verbal and non-verbal students.
Still NCCD-participating — documentation structured to support your school's evidence process, adapted to your setting's actual model.
Shaped with your staff, not around them — sessions developed collaboratively with the people who know your students best.
"Music doesn't care about where you are. It opens a door — and my job is to make sure you get to walk through it."

Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Tom
I became a music therapist because I believe music unlocks something in people that nothing else can. Not as a metaphor — as something I've watched happen, again and again, in classrooms, aged care facilities, and living rooms across Sydney.
My job isn't to "fix" people. It's to create the space where they want to make positive change. Growing up, the best part of learning music was being able to play with others. Regardless of their capacity, the people I work with get to experience being a musician; this is powerful. That's what drives me.

Things People Often Ask
What is music therapy and how is it different from music lessons?
Music therapy is a clinical, evidence-based practice where a registered music therapist uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social goals. Unlike music lessons, the focus is on therapeutic outcomes — not musical performance. You don't need any musical experience or ability to benefit from music therapy.
Who can benefit from music therapy?
Music therapy can benefit people of all ages and abilities. We work with children and adults with autism, intellectual disability, developmental delays, mental health conditions, neurological conditions, and older adults in aged care — including those living with dementia.
Can I use my NDIS plan to pay for sessions?
Yes. Music therapy is a recognised NDIS support under Therapeutic Supports. If your plan includes funding under "Improved Daily Living" or "Therapeutic Supports," you may be able to use it. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants. Get in touch and we'll help you work it out.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place at your home, school, aged care facility, or another location that suits you across Sydney. Contact us to discuss what works best for you.
How do I get started?
No referral is required. Simply get in touch via phone, email, or the contact form below. We will have a friendly conversation to understand your needs and goals, and together we'll work out the best way forward.

Yes — we offer a brief, obligation-free phone or video consultation to answer your questions and determine whether music therapy is the right fit for your situation. Get in touch to arrange yours.
