  • While the NDIS landscape is changing, WCMS is proud to continue to offer support to students using NDIS to fund their music lessons. This is how we can try help:

    1. SELF-MANAGED PLAN: if you have a self managed plan, you can book and pay for your lessons as usual, managing your billing as it suits you.

    2. PLAN-MANAGED: Simply provide us with your plan manager’s details and we will liaise directly with them to organise all payments on your behalf.

    3. AGENCY-MANAGED: We will liaise directly with your agency on your behalf to work though all administrative aspects (including payments).

    NDIS can cover up to 100% of your music lesson fees. If you are unsure if your fund is able to cover your music lessons, reach out today and we will be more than happy to chat with your team to see how we can make it work for you.
