The Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage encourages graduates to join a professional group which represents their career interests on graduation but can not endorse any one group. Graduating students from this degree have good opportunities for employment both nationally and internationally. Graduates are critical thinking, reflective practitioners with technical and professional competence, sound reasoning and research literacy, and have a capacity to manage knowledge and its acquisition during their working lives. Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage graduate Andrea Roebeck says: "Taking part in the degree made me feel part of the development of the massage profession. It was wonderful to be in a programme where the theory linked directly to the real world outside SIT, and where a large part of my education was applying what I was learning in clinics and community placements.

Graduates may work in the following settings: multi disciplinary health practices, private practice, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community centres, gyms and sports complexes, sports teams, physiotherapy or chiropractic clinics, complementary health clinics, hotels and resorts, community mental health centres and nursing homes as well as in education. Therapeutic and sports massage specialists will work with individuals and groups of all ages, assisting those recovering from or dealing with injury, illness or disability, as well as individuals and groups looking for stress management intervention and injury prevention strategies.
