Study Massage Online - Practical Hours Completed in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or Cairns

Study Nationally Accredited Online Massage Courses with NETQ

NETQ is Q Academy’s dedicated online training division, designed for students who want to study massage therapy but are unable to attend regular on-campus classes. It’s ideal for those with busy schedules, or students located outside South-East Queensland or Sydney, including regional NSW and Queensland.

Our online massage courses offer maximum flexibility and convenience, allowing you to study from home while receiving full online tutor support. You’ll graduate with a nationally accredited qualification that is recognised by the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT), making you eligible to apply for private health fund provider numbers (subject to association requirements).

Eligible students may also apply for a Government VET Student Loan to help fund their Diploma of Massage Therapy. Please contact us to confirm your eligibility.

Clinical Practice Requirements

While most of your training is delivered online, all NETQ students must complete on-campus clinical practice and final assessments before a qualification can be issued.

To meet current industry and health fund requirements, students must complete 200 hours of supervised clinical practice at a NETQ Training Clinic located in:

• Brisbane

• Gold Coast

• Sunshine Coast

• Sydney

This ensures graduates meet the standards required by all major private health insurers for provider recognition.
