The range in Sydney

Lower quartile: $65
Midpoint: $100
Upper quartile: $157

Half of the massage prices published in Sydney sit between $65 and $157, with a midpoint of $100. That is drawn from 361 businesses in Sydney that publish this pricing, as collected on 25 September 2026.

Against the rest of the country

The midpoint in Sydney is within a few per cent of the national midpoint of $100, which is to say massage here are priced about where they are priced everywhere else.

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.

The other cities

Largest sample first. 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 — 1,890 priced lines from 361 businesses in Sydney, 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. Nationally, 2,437 businesses in our catalogue offer this service and 2,437 publish a price for it. The ones that publish are not a random sample of the ones that do not.
