How to organise an office massage day for 50 or 100 staff

Written by Published on: November 5, 2026

Planning an office massage day for 50 or 100 staff starts with likely participation, session length and changeover time. Budget examples are three providers for three hours at A$1,178.10, or six for three hours at A$2,356.20, including the 10% service fee and GST. These are cost examples, not guaranteed capacity; your quote confirms the staffing and hours.

Sample day: 10am to 1pm

Therapists arrive about 15 minutes early to set up and need about 15 minutes to pack down. They bring all equipment.

Release session times by team or floor so no team is away from their desks at once.

How to run the day

Book. Book online through Blys for Teams and pay by card or invoice, or request a quote and an Account Coordinator replies within 24 hours. Blys needs at least 48 hours' notice. For December, allow 3 to 4 weeks.

Share the link. Each booking has a shared scheduling link. Staff book with their first name, last name and email, and can add the booking to their calendar.

Manage the list. Organisers see every booking; if the day fills, staff can join a waitlist and are notified first come, first served.

Print the schedule. Download a PDF schedule for reception and team leads.

On the day. Give each chair a quiet corner of about 1m x 1.5m (or about 2m x 2m per massage table). If a therapist becomes unavailable, existing bookings stay and the link keeps working while Blys looks for a replacement.

Costs and invoices

Blys issues a GST-compliant tax invoice per booking and offers monthly consolidated invoicing for corporate accounts. Group and corporate bookings are not eligible for health fund claims.

Blys connects workplaces with independent massage providers across Australia, subject to local availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many massage therapists do I need for 50 staff?

Three providers for 3 hours is one budget example, not a guarantee that every employee can attend. Confirm likely participation, session length and changeover time in your quote.

How many massage therapists do I need for 100 staff?

Six providers for 3 hours is one budget example, not a guarantee that every employee can attend. Your quote confirms staffing after allowing for session length and changeover time.

How much does an office massage day for 100 people cost?

On Blys, 6 chair massage therapists for 3 hours is A$2,142 at A$119 per therapist-hour, or A$2,356.20 with the 10% service fee, including GST, on a weekday during standard business hours before any surcharge.

How long should each chair massage be?

15 minutes is the common choice. Blys chair sessions can be as short as 10 minutes, so more people get a turn in the same booking.

About 1m x 1.5m per massage chair, or about 2m x 2m per massage table. Allow 15 minutes of setup and 15 minutes of pack-down per therapist. Therapists bring all equipment.

How do staff book their time?

Each Blys for Teams booking has a shared scheduling link. Staff pick a time with their name and email, a waitlist opens when the day is full, and organisers can download a PDF schedule.

Can staff claim the massage on their health fund?

No. Blys group and corporate bookings are not eligible for health fund claims.
