l THANK YOU PINK FINSS l

Collaboration and clinical skill development at Pink Finns, NSW 💚

Our recent OM1 training, led by Senior Facilitator Di, brought therapists together to strengthen their skills in a supportive, supervised environment.

OMT’s in person trainings are where online learning is translated into safe, practical application. It’s where therapists build confidence in adapting massage for people affected by cancer, grounded in evidence and guided by experienced facilitators.

Through hands on practice, real time feedback, and shared clinical discussion, participants refine their decision making, communication, and touch. These are the skills that support safe, professional care for medically complex clients.

Workshops like this are a vital step in developing competence, credibility, and readiness for clinical practice.

We’re grateful to the team at Pink Finns 🙏
It's through the support of organisations like this that we’re able to deliver training in environments that reflect real world practice, with professionalism and care at every level.

“Informative, no pressure, relaxed experience.”

When therapists describe their OM1 experience this way, it speaks to what matters most...learning that is grounded, supportive, and clinically relevant.

At Oncology Massage Training Ltd, we create an environment where you can build knowledge and translate it into safe, practical skills, without pressure, and with the guidance you need to feel confident.

Thank you to OM1 graduate Maija D for sharing your experience 💚

Ready to build on your foundation?

l COLLABORATION IN NEW ZEALAND l

At Oncology Massage Training Ltd, our work is strengthened through meaningful collaboration with organisations deeply embedded in their communities.

Recently, we had the privilege of delivering our OM1 training in partnership with Mary Potter Hospice in Porirua, New Zealand.

Mary Potter Hospice is a local charity that provides specialist palliative care services for people living in Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti. They provide equitable, compassionate, free-of-charge hospice care working primarily with patients, families and carers in the place they call home, and at their Inpatient Unit in Newtown, Wellington.

Bringing oncology massage education into environments like this is significant.

It ensures therapists are not only gaining evidence-based knowledge, but also understanding how that knowledge translates into real world care. Care within multidisciplinary teams, and alongside organisations that set the standard for compassionate clinical practice.

Workshops like OM1 are where theory becomes practice.

Therapists develop the clinical reasoning, communication skills and hands-on adaptations required to safely support people affected by cancer and complex health conditions, always within scope, and always with care.

We are incredibly grateful to Mary Potter Hospice for their ongoing partnership, their openness to collaboration, and their commitment to supporting both therapists and the wider community.

Together, we are contributing to a future where safe, skilled touch is accessible to more people, where it matters most 💚

l SCAR MASSAGE TRAINING l

Expanding your skills in scar therapy, beyond oncology

We know many in our community are interested not only in oncology related scar work, but in developing confidence and skill in working with scars more broadly.

From post-surgical scars to supporting women living with caesarean scars, this is an area where informed, evidence based touch can make a meaningful difference.

That’s why we’re pleased to share that Restore Scar Therapy training will be in Australia this May, facilitated by highly regarded international tutor, Caroline Callister.

These programs are designed to support therapists to:

✔ Understand the structure and behaviour of scar tissue
✔ Apply advanced scar and fascial techniques safely
✔ Work with common post-surgical presentations, including caesarean scars
✔ Build confidence in adapting treatment for individual needs

With self paced online theory followed by two days of in person practical training, you’ll have the opportunity to translate knowledge into skilled, hands on application in a supported learning environment.

📍 Brisbane & Melbourne
📅 May 2026
⚠️ Limited places available

If expanding your scope to include scar therapy, or deepening your work with clients living with caesarean scars is part of your professional direction, this is a valuable next step.

l OM1 SUNSHINE COAST l

A glimpse into our recent training....set in an incredible learning environment on the Sunshine Coast.

We’re grateful to partner with Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic (SCHOC), providing a space that supports focused, professional learning (and yes… the view certainly doesn’t hurt).

This training was led by our Managing Director Tania, alongside facilitator Di and supported by Lisa. These trainings are designed to support therapists as they begin developing safe, clinically informed oncology massage practice.

Across the weekend, we saw thoughtful questions, careful practice, and a strong commitment to learning.

💬 One of our students, Merle, shared:

“Practicals were great, informative and supportive. I appreciated the one-on-one feedback. I was very impressed by the tutoring being constant throughout the session. We were helped and corrected immediately. Having the sessions choreographed and timed was fantastic.”

Thank you to all of our students for the professionalism, care, and engagement you bring to this work.

This is where knowledge begins to translate into safe, confident practice.

l PLANNING YOUR TRAINING l

We’re already seeing therapists secure their places for our OM1 August intakes across VIC, NSW and QLD.

While August may feel some time away, many practitioners choose to plan early. Particularly when building skills in an area as clinically important as oncology massage.

Because this work requires more than interest.
It requires structured, evidence based training and a clear understanding of safety.

Across Australia and New Zealand, therapists choose OMT because our programs are:

✔ Evidence-based and clinically informed
Grounded in current oncology knowledge, treatment understanding, and safety frameworks

✔ Designed for real-world practice
Learn how to adapt treatment for people affected by cancer, not just in theory, but in practice

✔ Structured and standardised
A clear, progressive training pathway from foundation through to advanced levels

✔ Focused on safety and confidence
Know what to do, what to modify, and when to pause

✔ Supported by experienced facilitators
Learn within a supervised environment that prioritises feedback and clinical reasoning

✔ Part of a professional community
Join a network of therapists committed to safe, supportive cancer care

It starts with OM1.
The OM1 program is the first step in developing the knowledge and clinical awareness required to work safely with people affected by cancer.

Through blended learning, you’ll build a clear understanding of:
• Cancer and common treatments
• Contraindications and precautions
• Safe adaptations in massage practice
• Communication within scope of practice

August 2026 OM1 Training

📍 VIC & NSW: E-learning - 1 July / In person 1–2 August
📍 QLD: E-learning - 29 July / In person 29–30 August

💡 Early-bird available:
• VIC & NSW: until 1 June
• QLD: until 29 June

For many therapists, planning ahead allows time to integrate learning into their practice goals and professional development pathway.

If oncology massage is an area you’ve been considering, this may be the right time to begin.

l GRADUATE REFLECTION - AMANDA l

“A nurturing learning environment. I felt supported all the way along the learning process.

Tania takes into consideration the experience and background of every therapist in the group—recognising each person’s strengths and areas for development.”
— Amanda B, OM1 Graduate (Cairns)

We’re so grateful to Amanda for sharing her experience from our recent OM1 training at COUCH in Cairns.

Creating a learning environment that is supportive, structured, and responsive to each therapist is central to how we teach. Every participant brings a unique background, and our role is to help refine skills, build clinical confidence, and support safe, evidence-based practice.

Thank you to this wonderful Cairns cohort for your professionalism, openness, and commitment to doing this work well.
