      Training That You Can Trust

      Currently MIMT students help first team players prepare for games and training on a daily basis.


      The feedback we get from the players, which are the most important people at the club, is that MIMT students are fantastic, they have a willingness to learn and they fit in well with our team.

      They also get to come into the physio room and see how we do things and they get a great experience from that.”

      Travis Maude Head of Physiotherapy at Melbourne Victory Football Club

      The teachers are very experienced and are easy to get along with. I really enjoyed the course as everyone was so down to earth, sharing their work experience with all the students.

      MIMT offers a comprehensive course in both theory and a practical approach. I attended the introductory course to massage therapy and I was hooked!

      I am extremely proud to have been a graduate of MIMT."

      Dr Louisa Yim Kew East

      “MIMT is definitely our first point of contact, as they are so helpful and easy to deal with.

      We have given an international profile and experience to students and the calibre of students is impressive.

      As a world renowned rejuvenation centre the quality of the students is in-line with our standards. We have had the pleasure of employing graduates at the resort and at trade shows or our international buyers”
