Below are the main Australian programs, what each one actually offers, and who it suits. International online certifications are open to Australians too, so those are worth a look if nothing local fits.

The Trainings
Rhythm of Breath
Rhythm of Breath runs a 12-week hybrid facilitator training based in Sydney, with its in-person immersion in Bondi and further cohorts in the UK and Spain. You work through self-paced online modules and weekly Zoom calls, then a four-day in-person immersion. The curriculum covers functional breathing, everyday techniques, and transformational breathwork in a trauma-informed frame, and it is IPHM-accredited. At $5,350 (or two payments of $2,775) it sits at the premium end, and it takes beginners as well as experienced practitioners. This is the pick if you want structured mentoring and real time in the room rather than a purely self-paced course.
Flow Institute
Flow Institute runs a five-day, in-person Level One instructor training in Melbourne and Brisbane, with online pre-learning beforehand. The days are long (8am to 5pm) and the curriculum blends functional breathing, conscious connected breathwork, somatic movement, and emotional intelligence, all trauma-informed. It is IPHM-accredited and application-only, so cohorts are screened. Pricing is not published, so you request it when you apply. Best if you want an intensive, in-the-room format over a short window rather than months of online study.
Breathless Expeditions
Breathless Expeditions offers a 10-week facilitator training that combines breath science, practical facilitation, and business skills, delivered online with in-person elements. Its stand-out claim is university accreditation through Arizona State University, which is unusual in breathwork and may appeal if an academic credential matters to you. Check the current intake and price on their site. A reasonable fit if you want business skills built into the training rather than bolted on afterwards.
Accreditation, Insurance and Cost
Australia has its own professional body, the Australian Breathwork Association, which endorses trainings that meet its standards and lists accredited trainers. It is the best place to find local options beyond the three above. Most Australian trainings carry IPHM accreditation, and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) is the usual insurance route. Expect a local certification to run roughly $2,000 to $7,000 depending on length and in-person components. Our breathwork insurance guide and training cost guide cover both in more detail.
International online certifications like SOMA Breath and Oxygen Advantage are also popular with Australian facilitators and open to anyone.
