What is a Registered Music Therapist (RMT)?
A registered music therapist (RMT) is a music therapist who is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA). To be eligible to register with AMTA, a registered music therapist needs to complete a certified university degree in music therapy and maintain their skills through ongoing professional development as approved by the AMTA.
Currently, music therapy training is at a master's level in Australia, and courses are offered at The University of Melbourne and Western Sydney University. The course is two years full time. To enter the master's course, students must have completed an undergraduate degree in music or a related health profession with demonstrated high-level musical skills.
