Remedial massage is not an Ahpra registered profession, so the section 133 testimonial ban does not apply to it. Physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy and podiatry are all bound by it. This is the largest advertising asymmetry in Australian allied health and we have not found a single page that uses it.

Section 133 of the National Law makes it a criminal offence to use testimonials in advertising a regulated health service. It binds the fifteen professions registered under Ahpra, which includes physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy and podiatry.
Remedial massage is not one of them. Allied Health Professions Australia lists nine registered allied health professions and massage is absent from that list. Massage therapy is instead covered by association self regulation, by state codes of conduct for unregistered practitioners, and by the Australian Consumer Law.
So a physiotherapist cannot publish a patient saying their sciatica resolved in three sessions. A remedial massage therapist can. What still binds you is consumer law, which means the testimonial must be genuine, must not be misleading, and must not create an unreasonable expectation. That is a real constraint and it is a considerably lighter one than your registered competitors carry.
Approved provider status runs through association membership under the private health insurance accreditation rules, and the qualification level decides how many funds you reach.
| Qualification | Funds reached | What you may advertise |
|---|---|---|
| Diploma of Remedial Massage | Nine major funds including Bupa, Medibank, HCF, nib, ahm and Australian Unity | Health fund rebates, with the fund names you actually hold |
| Certificate IV | Two funds only | Rebates through those two funds specifically. A general rebates claim is misleading |
| Qualification delivered largely online | At least one major fund does not accept it at all | Check before advertising anything |
Also required for provider status: current first aid, professional indemnity and public liability cover, continuing education, and a physical clinic address. A PO Box or a mobile-only service is not accepted, and approval takes four to six weeks. A new clinic cannot honestly advertise rebates on opening day.
