Launch Your Beauty Career with Perfect Timing
Dreaming of a career in beauty therapy? There’s no better time to start than July. At The French Beauty Academy, Australia’s premier beauty education provider, enrolling mid-year could be the career move that changes everything. Here’s why July is the golden month to begin and how it can unlock faster career success in Australia’s flourishing beauty and wellness sector.
Why July Intake Is a Smart Choice
July marks a unique midpoint in the academic year in Australia. Enrolling in a July intake allows students to:
- Fast-track into the workforce: Complete your qualifications and graduate ahead of the traditional calendar year, making you job-ready by mid-next year.
- Beat the January rush: Avoid competing with thousands of school leavers who typically flood the market at the start of the year.
- Maximise job opportunities: Enter the industry just as peak hiring seasons start for beauty salons, spas, and wellness clinics gearing up for the holiday and summer seasons.
At The French Beauty Academy, our Future of Beauty Program (including the nationally recognised SHB50121 Diploma of Beauty Therapy and SHB50216 Diploma of Salon Management) prepares you to enter the booming Australian beauty industry confidently.
Australia's Beauty Industry: A Booming Market
The Australian beauty industry is thriving, offering exceptional career prospects for qualified professionals:
- $8.601 billion: The estimated value of Australia’s beauty and personal care market in 2023.
- 6.2% Annual Growth Rate: The beauty and wellness sector is expected to continue strong growth through to 2028, driven by skincare, wellness, and medi-spa services.
- 9 in 10 French graduates secure employment before graduation—an outcome unmatched by many other education providers.
The demand for professional beauty therapists has never been higher. By 2026, Australia is predicted to need an additional 25,000 beauty therapists and spa practitioners to meet industry demand.
Benefits of Studying Beauty Therapy in Australia This July
1. Graduate Faster, Start Earning Sooner
Choosing a mid-year start means you can qualify in as little as 12 months, allowing you to begin your career or business venture ahead of the traditional cycle. With beauty therapy annual average salary is $75,000 and even higher for specialists in dermal therapies and medi-spa treatments, the earlier you graduate, the sooner you start earning.
2. Study During a More Flexible Period
