Massage Therapist Courses

In Australia, a full time Massage Therapist generally earns $1,038 per week ($53,976 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience can you expect a higher salary than people who are new to the industry.

Opportunities for Massage Therapists in Australia are expected to grow over the next 5 years as more than 15,000 new jobs open up around the country. Massage Therapists usually work in massage clinics, sport medicine and fitness centres.
