This course has no prerequisites and is suitable for anyone to attend. We keep our course sizes small; with only 6-12 participants on each course, there’s plenty of opportunity for questions and individual feedback from your facilitators.
While OM1 was originally designed for massage and tactile therapists, it’s also become popular among people without a massage background who wish to better inform their work as volunteer in a healthcare setting, or support friends or family members experiencing health challenges. Please note: you will be required to both give and receive hands on therapy during the course.
Register for OM1 and discover the incredible benefits of oncology massage techniques in a supportive, nurturing environment.
There is no formal examination at the end of this course, however, please note that successfully completing OM1 does not automatically mean that you will be able to progress to [OM2]. Each OM1 participant is assessed for their suitability for this kind of work, and OM2 has additional prerequisites, including a recognised touch therapy qualification.
Anyone who has previously attempted OM1 - successfully or unsuccessfully - is welcome to attend any OM1 course as a refresher. It is no different in any material way from OM1, except that it is half-price. If you fall into any of the Categories listed below, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of this generous opportunity:
Price | |
---|---|
Standard | $1200 AUD |
Early Bird | $1000 AUD |
Refresher | $600 AUD |

Pre-Course Reading
These publications are recommended OM1 Pre-Course Reading:
These books support your Oncology Massage education and are recommended for OM1. OMT strongly suggests they be completed for OM2, so if you are planning to progress to OM2, it is a good idea to get hold of them as soon as possible. You can find more information, and links to each book on the National Library of Australia’s Trove website,
on our FAQ page.
You may also wish to join and browse our
public Facebook page.
For OM1, we need a massage table for every two students. In the first instance, we assume you are bringing a table - so, if you are not, please notify your Course Facilitator so we know how many tables will be available.
