Where do these prices come from?

They are read from the service menus businesses publish on their own websites — 12,012 individual priced lines across 2,437 businesses. They are not quotes, and businesses that publish pricing are not a random sample of the market.

How much does a massage cost in Australia?

Remedial, relaxation and deep tissue massage, by published price.

The range

Lower quartile: $65
Midpoint: $100
Upper quartile: $145

Half of the published prices sit between $65 and $145, with a midpoint of $100. That is drawn from 2,437 Australian businesses that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Why the range is so wide

Massage is priced by the clock more consistently than anything else on this site: 30, 60 and 90 minutes are the standard lines, and the 60-minute price is what most of the middle of this range represents. Where a business also lists remedial or sports work, it usually sits above its relaxation equivalent for the same duration.

By city

Largest sample first, and each city has its own page. A city appears only where at least 25 businesses publish this pricing, because below that a single expensive salon moves the whole row.

What these numbers are, and are not

Every figure is computed from businesses’ own published service menus — 12,012 priced lines from 2,437 businesses, collected on 25 September 2026. None of it is typed in by hand.

A published price is not a quote. What you are charged depends on your hair, your skin and how long the appointment actually takes, and many businesses quote on consultation rather than publishing at all — 2,437 businesses in our catalogue offer this service, and 2,437 of them publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
