From hearing health to meditation, the MU has developed a comprehensive package of health and wellbeing services for members. You can find out about our services on the health and wellbeing section of the MU website and through our email updates.

We are aware that some MU members work in health and wellbeing, using music to support the wellbeing of others. We would like to bring these members together to better understand their needs as professionals and how the MU could support them.
