BEDPOST Sleep Collective

No, our services are not billed to Medicare or private health funds.

However, we do not charge for the initial screening sleep study.

A $400 deposit is required to cover any potential damage to the sleep study device. This deposit is fully refunded if features of moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) are not identified in your sleep study.

Follow-up consultations are $100 for a 30-minute Allied Health consultation.

If you require a therapy efficacy sleep study, this costs $400 and includes the same follow-up analysis and consultation as the screening sleep study.

All charges are inclusive of GST

• Initial screening sleep study – No charge.

• $400 deposit (refunded if no moderate OSA is detected).

• If moderate OSA is identified, the $400 deposit is applied towards a CPAP trial (typically 2 weeks).

• Follow-up telehealth consultations are $100 per 30 minutes.

• House calls are available for an additional $100.

Yes, routine sleep study appointments are available:

• Monday to Wednesday at 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 4:00 PM.

• These are home-based appointments and take about 30 minutes.

• Follow-up consultations are conducted the next morning at 5:30 AM, 7:00 AM, or 8:30 AM, lasting about an hour.

We offer an Executive Booking option:

• Sunday evening at 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM (30-minute appointment).

• Follow-up consultation on Monday morning at 5:30 AM or 7:00 AM (approximately 1 hour).

• Minimum charge: $400 (taken from your deposit, assuming no device damage). If moderate OSA is identified, the $400 covers the CPAP trial.

No, but it is strongly recommended.

Referrals can be provided by:

• General Practitioners (GPs)

• Specialist Physicians

• Dentists

• Allied Health Professionals (e.g., psychologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists)

• Registered Nurses

We require your GP's details. This is non-negotiable, as all sleep study and consultation reports are sent to both you and your GP (and your referrer, if applicable).

We do not provide medical diagnoses but conduct objective sleep assessments. Your Doctor can provide a formal diagnosis if needed.

We specialise in Type II sleep studies (Home Sleep Apnoea Tests) to rule in or out Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, with or without therapy.

If complex sleep disorders (e.g., hypersomnolence, parasomnias, or sleep-related breathing disorders) are suspected, we will recommend seeing a Sleep Physician.

Additionally, if we detect signs of cardiac abnormalities, neurocognitive disorders, or other medical conditions, we will flag these for your GP and provide specialist recommendations where appropriate.

BEDPOST Sleep Collective exclusively recommends Auto CPAP (APAP) machines due to their advanced features and adaptability.

While fixed-pressure CPAP machines are available, they are best managed under the care of a Sleep Physician, which may lead to higher long-term costs.

We supply the Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle+ APAP machine for $1,600 AUD.

For clients seeking alternative CPAP machines or masks, we have partnerships with other suppliers who may offer discounted rates to our clients through their online store.

For ongoing CPAP therapy management, we require that your APAP machine be onboarded to our remote management platform ($100 setup fee). This allows us to monitor your therapy and make adjustments as needed.

That’s okay, we offer alternative therapies.

While CPAP is the gold standard for treating OSA, only about 75% of users find it effective and comfortable for long-term use.

Other treatment options include:

• Mandibular Advancement Splints (via a dentist)

• EPAP Therapy (provided by us)

• Positional Therapy Devices (provided by us)

• Exercise, Nutrition, & Weight Loss Programs

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi)

• Specialist Psychologists (for sleep hygiene & motivation)

Some therapies do not provide compliance data or have lower effectiveness than CPAP. We may recommend follow-up sleep studies to assess their efficacy.

For complex sleep disorders, a Sleep Physician should be consulted. We can provide recommendations for specialists, but we do not typically advise on surgical interventions, as these discussions should occur between you, your GP, and your specialist.
