How much does Acupuncture cost in Perth?

Have you heard about the benefits of acupuncture? Wondering how Chinese medicine can help you, but want to know how much it costs? We’re big fans of acupuncture here at Canning Healthcare. We have seen firsthand how Chinese medicine works to relieve pain, reduce stress and improve overall health.

But we also know balancing the costs of medical expenses is tough, so you want to do your research before committing to another treatment. We totally understand! In this blog, we give you the lowdown on acupuncture prices, as well as tips on how to choose the right acupuncturist for you.


Acupuncture prices

Wondering how much acupuncture costs? Perth prices range from $70-$120 per consultation. 

What’s behind the variance? Differences in acupuncture prices could be due to:

  • Type of consult: Different acupuncture types e.g. acupressure, can cost more. 

  • Treatment type: The reason for your treatment may affect the price e.g. weight loss.

  • Length of session: Initial consults are longer and will be more expensive.

  • Skill level of the acupuncturist: Education and additional training play a role.

  • Quality of treatment: Some acupuncturists will provide a basic service. Others go above and beyond.

  • Clinic vs. home practice: Clinics are typically more expensive.

  • Location: Clinics closer to the city often cost more.

  • Privacy of rooms: Private rooms may cost more than rooms with multiple patients.

At Canning Healthcare, we charge:

  • First appointment 60-75 minutes: $120 ($110 for concession)

  • Follow-up appointments 45 minutes: $90 ($80 for concession)

  • Chinese medicine herbs: Starting from $17 (if prescribed)

How many treatments do you need? Most treatment plans require 6-12 sessions, but many patients attend regular sessions as part of their wellness routine. 

How do you choose the right acupuncturist for you?

Like any medical treatment, it’s best not to choose a practitioner based on price alone. You want to trust your acupuncturist knows what they’re doing, and you’ll leave feeling better, not worse!

Things to consider when choosing an acupuncturist:

  • Education: Acupuncturists must have a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture.

  • Acupuncture license: Always check your acupuncturist is fully licenced.

  • Type of clinic: Is it a clinic or home practice? Clinics tend to be more professional.

  • Complimentary services: What else do they offer? You may wish to go somewhere that offers allied health services for your convenience.

Quick tips on choosing a quality acupuncturist:

  • Don’t be afraid to call up the clinic and ask questions.

  • Get at least three acupuncture quotes in your area to give you an idea of the variance.

  • Read Google and Facebook reviews – these will provide you with a good idea of the quality of the practice.
