The Australian Association of Massage Therapists Limited (AAMT) is the peak representative body for massage therapists in Australia and was formed in 2003 following the amalgamation of five major massage Associations across Australia. AAMT provides public service by maintaining a register of qualified member practitioners for referral and for responding to enquiries and complaints from the public. It is the Association's strong commitment to protecting the public and members that has led the association and its members to high levels of recognition in the massage industry. AAMT is not-for-profit organisation currently representing over 7,500 members. AAMT advocates high standards of ethical and professional practice and currently self regulates its members. These standards are achieved by recognising individual practitioners for membership who hold formal qualifications that are defined by the Australian National Training Quality Framework and supported by the Health Training Package. AAMT certifies massage therapists on behalf of the profession for the benefit of consumers, health fund providers, and employers. AAMT provides a free referral service for the public to ensure they receive the best possible treatment and care. AAMT members can be found in the 'Find a Therapist' section of this website.
