What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic, non-invasive therapy which complements other therapies and modern medicine. It is based on the principle that all parts of the body are reflected on the feet, hands and ears. A qualified Reflexologist will use a combination of pressure techniques on these reflexes in order to address imbalances in the mind and body.
- Reduces muscular tension and joint pain

What is the difference between the Diploma of Reflexology and the Certificate of Clinical Reflexology?
The Certificate of Clinical Reflexology has been designed by the Reflexology Association of Australia to run parallel with the Diploma of Reflexology.
Should students wish to study further there is a possibility to do so with RTOs and complete the further 5 Units required for the Diploma in Reflexology. Please note that RTOs will make charges for Recognised Prior Learning of the already completed 16 units at their discretion.
Are there any pre-requisites required before enrolment in the Certificate of Clinical Reflexology?
We would advise that you have completed education at school up to Year 12 or equivalent.
We recommend that students undertake the Anatomy & Physiology Unit before course commencement as this assists with understanding the body’s systems as we learn their reflex points.
Students are required to successfully complete Units HLTAAP002 (Anatomy & Physiology) & HLTAID003 (Provide First Aid) at a RTO, for completion of Certificate of Clinical Reflexology.
What are the job prospects for Qualified Reflexologists?
Many practitioners also combine their private practice with clients in community organisations such as Aged Care Homes, Disability Centres, Womens’ Refuges, etc.
