Massage clinics
Our student remedial massage clinics provide an exceptional opportunity for the public to receive remedial massage services at a fraction of industry costs. Our student clinics prioritise student development and on-the-job learning, making it an excellent learning environment for students.
We welcome all members of the public to experience our clinics.
Massage services
Our clinics are run by students studying for the Diploma of Remedial Massage. To ensure the utmost safety and quality, all clinics are supervised by qualified and industry-current therapists at all times.
Our student-run massage services are offered within our learning environments. Students’ direct observations, assessments and supervision take place during treatment.
During your visit, you will have the opportunity to support the student's learning experience by complying with assessment processes conducted by the student therapist within your one-hour booking time.
Note: clinic locations, availability and services are subject to change each term.

Behaviour of clients, carers & members of the public
Clients, their carers, and members of the public interacting with Clinics are expected to behave appropriately. In particular:
- Aggressive or abusive speech or behaviour towards staff, students, other clients, or carers will not be tolerated. People who exhibit these behaviours will be required to leave the Clinic immediately.
- Generally offensive or objectionable behaviour will lead to a request for the behaviour to cease. If this request should be disregarded, the individual will be asked to leave the clinic.
All VU clinics reserve the right to refuse further treatment to any individual who has previously exhibited aggressive or abusive behaviours towards staff, students, other clients, carers, or members of the public.
