Issy Falkiner

Grants & Funding Coordinator
Auckland Regional Centre

Issy is the Grants and Fundraising Coordinator at Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre. She brings a broad background working across community organisations in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, including roles in social and public housing, education, and mental health support.

She was drawn to the Centre through a strong belief in the power of music therapy as a deeply impactful — and often under‑recognised — form of support. Having spent much of her life in music communities and alongside musicians, RMTC’s kaupapa closely aligns with both her personal interests and professional values. Issy is focused on strengthening resourcing for high‑impact work and supporting outcomes that help communities feel more connected and supported.

Outside of work, Issy enjoys sewing, painting, and spending time in nature — whether that’s hiking, biking, or being by the ocean.
