Classifieds

AMT Web Classifieds is available to AMT members and non-members.

There is a fee of $25.00 for AMT members and $125.00 for non-members for advertisements to a maximum 150 words.

You can submit your copy online by using the booking form here. Ads will be published for two months.

Please note: AMT will not advertise positions that pay by piece rates/per massage because these do not comply with Fair Work and NES provisions. We will only advertise massage-related goods and services, and other relevant notices. We cannot advertise the private clinics of individual AMT members.

Professional Development

Practitioner members of AMT must participate in at least 20 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) per year. One hour of active learning is equal to one hour of CPD. Please download our Professional Development Guide for more information.

Please watch our webinar which tells you everything you need to know about AMT's PD system, including a live screen demonstration of how to submit a reflection in your member portal. We have even set you a reflection task to complete which will add to the number of hours you can claim for completing the suggested activity.

Professional development standards

AMT’s professional development standards set out what is expected when you are planning, undertaking and documenting your professional development. We encourage you to read the standards to ensure your professional development activities are in line with requirements.

There are 7 standards that cover documentation, relevance and scope, variety, quality of formal and informal activities, quality assurance, and audit of records.

AMT's official scope of practice for massage therapy is published in the AMT Code of Practice. Study in modalities identified by AMT to be outside the scope of massage will not be accepted as professional development. For a full list of these modalities please refer to pages 11 and 12 of the AMT Code of Practice here.

Need some professional development inspiration?

We've got a whole swag of new suggestions for 2024, along with some old favs. You can download our suggested professional development activities here.

We also have past PD Webinars and Workshops available on demand, once you’ve registered you will be sent the recording. You can check out them out here.

If you've seen an upcoming conference, lecture or Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) that you’re interested in doing, send us the details via info@amt.org.au and we will confirm whether it is eligible for CPD.

AMT will accept up to 5 peer reviews from an AMT member who treats a colleague with formal qualifications in massage therapy. You will need to download and complete the AMT Peer Review Form and upload it to your membership portal when completing your reflection.

In the immortal words of John F Kennedy (sort of) … Ask not what your association does for you but what you can do for your association.

In this blog post, AMT directors invite you to get involved.

Remembrance of conferences past …

In a decidedly Proustian moment, AMT Chairperson Keryn Rose reflects on past AMT conferences and how they have shaped and supported her career as a therapist. Break out the madeleines with a cup of tea and enjoy! Proust could learn a thing or two from this three-minute read.

Why should domestic and family violence matter to massage therapists?

Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a critical issue in Australia, with over 27% of women and 12% of men experiencing DFV since age 15. In this blog post, Dr Sarah Fogarty explains why DFV should matter to massage therapists. We also launch Sarah’s training on domestic and family violence, which is available for free to all AMT members.
