Once you contact us, we pretty much look after the rest.
After confirming we are able to give you the care you need, we will talk you through the Medicare screening procedure and generate the necessary referral documentation for you to have signed by your GP. (A GP referral is necessary for the Medicare contribution.)
If you don't have a regular doctor, or if your doctor doesn't provide telehealth consultations, we can provide the details of online GPs who consult and provide referrals over the phone.
We will then arrange for the delivery of a diagnostic unit to your home on the day you choose for your sleep study.
Our care support team will be in touch to make sure everything is set up and functioning properly … and then you simply follow your normal nightly routine.
Take all of your usual medications. Eat when you normally do, and have a drink or two if that is your usual routine.

In order to get the best possible recording of how you typically sleep … you need to sleep typically.
Home-based sleep studies are obviously ideal for this very reason.
When you are ready, go to bed. The diagnostic recorder will begin recording once you fall asleep. It's as simple as that.
As soon as we receive the recorder back (in the Express delivery satchel we provide) the recorded data will be scored by a Sleep Scientist.
A formal diagnosis and prescription will then be provided by a specialist Australian Sleep & Respiratory Physician.
Importantly, both the reporting Sleep Scientist and Sleep Physician are both completely independent.
You can therefore be confident your diagnosis and treatment recommendations really are the best for you.
There is no need to visit and stay in a sleep lab. No need to visit a site for fitting.
There is no need for it to be difficult or expensive or unpleasant, at all.
That's why we built a better system. Now, instead of requiring you to get to the technology, we get the technology to you.
We've now helped almost a thousand Australians get their sleep studies done in the privacy, comfort and convenience of their own bedroom. In the vast majority of cases, they have been eligible for a generous Medicare contribution.
Interestingly, many of our patients are 'refugees' from mainstream sleep labs where their sleep study failed, due to lack of sleep. Why go through the appointments, travel, parking hassles and rigmarole associated with sleep labs, which don't guarantee a result, when you can now do your study in the comfort and convenience of your own bed?

"My only regret is not having got hold of Sleep Clinic Services years ago!
The whole process has been easy with the information and guidance I've received from them. Nina is a fantastic sleep therapist who was able to explain the results of the initial sleep study to me in clear way and therefore gave me the confidence to go ahead with Sleep Clinic Services' recommendation to invest in a CPAP machine.
The immediate benefit of the CPAP therapy has been a complete cessation of snoring (much to my wife's delight) and reduction of apnoea events, resulting in a clearer mind and less fatigue during the day, with the promise of more improvement to come.
If you're currently on the fence about engaging Sleep Clinic Services, I'd suggest getting hold of them straight away so as to be able to start your treatment as soon as possible!
Update: It's been 10 months since I started using a CPAP machine and now I dread having to spend a night without it, so much so that I've purchased a portable CPAP machine (a ResMed AirMini - highly recommended!) for the nights that I'm away from home. The benefit of getting a night of good sleep using a CPAP machine is far greater than the financial cost of the machine and makes any embarrassment you might feel from wearing a CPAP mask inconsequential. Your partner will thank you for it too!"
"Coming to terms with a brand new apnoea diagnosis was difficult for me. Further, CPAP machines are such a damn hassle and keeping up with therapy can become overwhelming with all the things you have to set, order, clean, research, and keep up with. If you make a mistake, it can cost you hundreds of dollars if you're doing it on your own.
I truly recommend this team if you want the process to be as easy and smooth as possible and to get the best possible results for your therapy.
Even at the beginning when I had a doctor's referral and no clue what I was doing, I loved that the team were so kind and clear over the phone. They knew in depth WHY they were asking those sleep study questions and that helped me to better answer them with my somewhat complex medical history. They helped me through a very confusing process that I was able to perform from the comfort of my home because everything i needed was express-posted to my house (sleep study stuff, cpap, parts, masks, sim cards, etc.).
Having the option to swap masks and types of masks whenever I want is of great relief. Having a sleep clinician look over my results and interpret them for me for the rest of my natural life for a condition I will always have was a necessity for me.
I was so tired all the time and I'm so glad that I went with this clinic. Later when I need parts and my CPAP machine breaks from use, I know they'll look after me.
Thanks, sleep clinic services team ❤"
"I suffered from poor sleep for close to 20 years. Had a septoplasty, no joy. Used a popular anti-snore device in my mouth for 3 years - ruined my bite geometry (no sandwiches or steak now). Then I had myself tested for sleep apnea through Sleep Clinic Services about a year ago. Was shocked at the results. Acquired an APAP unit through them and have had the best sleep in years. Darryn and Robyn have been superb in keeping my treatment fine tuned and monitoring my progress and any anomalies along the way. My wife too has had the best sleep since we married 23 years ago! I think she's happier with the treatment than me sometimes. But seriously, these guys have practically saved me - it has been by far the best investment in my health to date. - Sheldon"
"This is by far the best experience of customer service I have had in a long time. Every step of the way SCS are there with a friendly and comforting helping hand. Personally I think doing a home sleep study is a more realistic simulation of your sleep than in a hospital - and for way less money. I'm now about 6 months into my CPAP journey and I feel very lucky that I found SCS as their service has changed my life for the better."
"I have been so impressed with Sleep clinic services.this has been one of the best companies I have ever dealt with.
The whole process has been professional and easy and everything came so quickly!.
I was allocated the sleep therapist Robyn who has - every step of the way - been amazing. It was quite confronting and embarrassing for me to learn how bad my snoring was but Robyn always made me feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that helped me understand why (in my situation) it was like this.
This has honestly been the best thing I have done for my health.
I am week 3 and I am really starting to see the benefits. I am feeling better, I’m happier, I am now able to walk in the mornings before work (without utter exhaustion) my skin is clearer, my weight is finally shifting and I am actually starting to feel like I am getting proper sleep, a feeling that I had long forgotten.
I am so grateful that I have been able to do this in my own home to and have a sleep therapist that knows what she is talking about, it is nice to feel like I am in good hands.
Thank you Sleep clinic services... you have literally changed my life."
"From tired and confused to now running a global company. This would not have been possible without the Sleep Clinic and the especially Robyn. I was unaware just how bad a situation I was in nor how good I could feel. From my personal experience it was amazing what I got use too but team at Sleep Clinic Services helped me transition myself and now feel refreshed and on top of the world. From day one I knew Ihad SCS in my corner, every question I had was answered, information was provided in a way that I could understand and I truely felt supported and cared for and is why I could not recommend their services enough. Bless all of the SCS team, you have added vitality, clarity and years to my life."
"Following an highly valuable experience with knowledgeable and friendly staff at Sleep Clinic Services to monitor, evaluate and develop a course of treatment to deal with a long-standing snoring and sleep apnea condition I reached a stage where the treatment process required assessment and reporting on.
This reporting and feedback interview was carried out by Robyn Fowler one of the highly experienced staff who constantly engage with customers like myself, to explain how their treatment is proceeding. This phone-based discussion proved very worthwhile and was delivered using her relaxing and informative style. In particular due to Robyn's highly developed interpersonal skills I was very appreciative of having the opportunity to spend time to learn further about management of sleep apnea. Keep up the good work Robyn and your team at Sleep Clinic Services"
"I was looked after from the beginning to the report at the end with continuous contact and communications with offer of assistance and support. The testing equipment was delivered promptly and with easy to follow instructions as well as videos that were great for me it made the testing simple in a stressful situation I would recommend this professional service with there Friendly helpful service"
"Sleep Clinic Services have been fabulous from the first sleep study, to arranging my CPAP machine and ongoing monitoring and advice. I have gone from 107 incidents per hour to 1. Could barely last through the day I was so tired and unwell. CPAP has Completely changed my life. Have energy, more active and as a result have changed my lifestyle and lost 50 Kilos. The assistance and support of sleep clinic services has been invaluable. If you are putting of a sleep study or investigating CPAP, don’t, you wont regret it, life-changing."
