Sydney is Australia’s priciest market for massage — expect to pay toward the top of the typical range in the CBD and inner suburbs, with more affordable options further west and in regional centres.
Melbourne prices sit at the high end of the typical range, especially in the inner city. Suburban and regional clinics across Victoria are noticeably more affordable.
Brisbane sits mid-range, with tourist areas such as the Gold Coast pricing slightly higher for day-spa and resort-style treatments.
Perth prices are broadly comparable to the east-coast capitals, with inner-city and coastal suburbs at the higher end.
Adelaide tends to run a little cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne for the same treatment, especially outside the city centre.
Hobart and Tasmania offer lower-to-mid range prices, reflecting a smaller and more locally-focused wellness market.
Canberra prices are comparable to Sydney and Melbourne suburbs, with a strong mix of remedial and clinical providers.
Darwin has a compact market with mid-range pricing, and fewer providers means it pays to book ahead in peak times.
