As 2026 begins, many mobile massage professionals in Melbourne are focusing less on working longer days and more on finding flexible freelance work that fits around their existing clients and lifestyle.
If you’re exploring mobile massage freelance work in Melbourne, it’s often not about locking in full-day schedules. It’s about filling short gaps between appointments, cancellations, or travel time — while staying independent and in control of when you work.
Orderoo is an on-demand at-home services platform designed to support qualified mobile and at-home service professionals — including massage therapists — by connecting them with booking requests that align with their availability, service areas, and preferred working style as services continue to roll out across Melbourne.
What is Orderoo?
Orderoo is an on-demand at-home services platform designed to make it easier for customers to discover local professionals — and for service providers to manage booking requests in a structured, professional way.
For mobile and at-home massage therapists in Melbourne, Orderoo is designed to:
- Support visibility when customers are searching for massage at home
- Reduce time spent on messages, enquiries, and scheduling
- Enable bookings that align with your preferred working hours
The platform is currently rolling out gradually in Melbourne, with availability and demand expanding over time.
Schedule-based bookings
Orderoo is designed to work around how most mobile and at-home therapists already operate.
When you join the platform, you can:
- Set your regular availability based on your existing schedule
- Choose the suburbs or travel radius you’re comfortable covering
- List your services and rates clearly and transparently
Booking requests are matched to your availability and service area, helping ensure enquiries are relevant and realistic from the start. This structured approach creates a smooth experience for customers and helps build trust on the platform.
On-demand bookings (to fill gaps when it suits you)
On-demand bookings are designed specifically to fill gaps in your day.
Most mobile massage therapists don’t want to work longer hours — they want to make better use of the time they already have.
Imagine this scenario.
It’s a weekday. You have a regular client at 10:00am and another booking at 3:30pm. There’s a window in between — not long enough to go home, but long enough for one more treatment if it’s nearby and short notice.
Normally, that time goes unused.
With Orderoo’s on-demand bookings, you can choose to make yourself available during these short gaps:
- Toggle online when you have unexpected availability
- Receive on-demand booking requests that match your location and timing
- Toggle offline instantly when you’re busy or finished for the day
You’re never required to be available on demand. This feature simply gives you the option to accept short-notice bookings when it makes sense for you.
Think of on-demand bookings as live availability, used intentionally to fill gaps — not to replace your regular schedule.
Work on your terms
Orderoo is designed to support professional independence.
Through the platform, you can:
- Offer your services based on your availability
- Set your own rates and service pricing
- Choose the areas you want to serve
- Decide when to accept scheduled or on-demand bookings
There’s no obligation to accept every request. You stay in control of how, when, and where you work.
