Fees
Clear costs, explained before you book
Our testing services are bulk billed when you have a valid referral and meet Medicare's criteria, so there's no out-of-pocket cost. If you don't meet the criteria, we'll tell you the cost before your appointment, not after.
CPAP machines, masks and supplies aren't covered by Medicare. Some private health extras policies pay a rebate, so check with your fund.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral?
For bulk-billed testing, yes. Ask your GP for a referral. You can download our referral form to take to your appointment. You don't need a referral for CPAP equipment or general CPAP support.
Is the home sleep test really bulk billed?
Yes, if you have a valid referral and meet Medicare's criteria. Your GP checks this using short sleep questionnaires. If you don't meet the criteria, you may need to see a sleep or respiratory specialist first, or pay for the test. We'll always explain the cost before you book.
What happens during a home sleep test?
You come to the clinic, where we fit a small recording device and show you how it works. You go home and sleep as normal, then return the equipment the next day. Read the full step-by-step guide.
How soon will I get my results?
Your study is reported and the results are sent to your referring doctor, usually within [X working days — clinic to confirm]. Book a follow-up with your GP to go through them.
Can you help with a CPAP machine I already have?
Yes. We can check your mask fit, review your machine data with you, and help with problems like air leaks, a dry mouth or trouble getting used to the pressure. More about CPAP support.
Do you see patients from the Sutherland Shire?
Yes. Many patients come to us from the Shire. Our clinic is near Kogarah station on the T4 line, which runs from Cronulla and Sutherland. Information for Shire patients.
