Key findings
Based on WellCompare’s latest Melbourne massage dataset:
- The median listed price for a 60-minute massage-style service is about $95.
- Swedish Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $95.
- Remedial Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $95.
- Relaxation Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $95.
- Thai Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $95.
- Deep Tissue Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $95.
- Foot Massage has a median 60-minute listed price of $90.

What this means
For many common massage types, a 60-minute listed price in Melbourne is often around $90 to $100.
The Melbourne dataset shows a tighter common price range than Sydney, with several major massage types sitting around the $95 median. Individual businesses can still vary depending on the service, location, facilities and treatment style.
Why median price is more useful than the cheapest price
The cheapest listed service is not always the best way to understand massage prices.
Some businesses list short treatments, add-ons or specialist extras, such as 10-minute services, stretching, consultation items, packages or other non-standard treatments. These can make the lowest price look much cheaper than a normal 60-minute massage.
For this reason, this report focuses mainly on median 60-minute prices.
A median means the middle price in the dataset. It is less affected by unusually cheap or unusually expensive services.
What affects massage prices in Melbourne?
Massage prices can vary for several reasons.
Massage type
Different massage types are priced differently. For example, a general relaxation massage may not be priced the same as remedial massage, sport massage, prenatal massage or lymphatic drainage massage.
Duration
Longer services usually cost more, but not always in a perfectly straight line. Some businesses offer better value for longer sessions.
Suburb and local market
Prices can vary by suburb depending on local demand, rent, competition and the type of businesses operating in the area.
Business model
A small independent clinic, a day spa, a remedial therapy clinic and a walk-in massage shop may all price services differently.
Facilities and inclusions
Private treatment rooms, couples rooms, health fund availability, spa facilities, showers, parking and accessibility features can all affect the overall value of a service.

Methodology
This report is based on WellCompare’s listed massage service data.
For this August 2026 data cut, WellCompare reviewed:
- 739 Melbourne/VIC published massage businesses
- 4,717 published service-price records
- 4,478 provisional clean records used for draft price analysis
- 1,299 eligible 60-minute records used for headline 60-minute price calculations
- 739 businesses in the clean dataset
- 33 suburbs in the clean dataset
The analysis focused on published business and service records in the WellCompare database.
For headline 60-minute figures, obvious add-ons, invalid rows and sub-30-minute services were excluded from the main median calculations. Median prices were used instead of relying only on minimum or maximum prices.
Service types were grouped using WellCompare’s service taxonomy.

Important limitations
This report should be used as a guide, not as a guaranteed quote.
Prices shown on WellCompare may change after they are listed. Businesses may also offer specials, packages, new services, seasonal promotions or updated pricing that is not yet reflected in the dataset.
WellCompare does not guarantee that every listed price is current at the time you view it. Always confirm the final price directly with the business before booking.
The dataset also depends on the information available to WellCompare. Some massage businesses publish detailed prices online, while others provide limited or no public pricing.
Summary
Based on WellCompare’s listed data, many common 60-minute massage services in Melbourne sit around the $90 to $100 median range.
Several common massage types, including Swedish Massage, Remedial Massage, Relaxation Massage, Thai Massage and Deep Tissue Massage, have a median listed 60-minute price of $95 in this data cut.
The best way to compare options is to look at the service type, duration, price, business profile and facilities together rather than choosing based only on the lowest price.
