How Do I Make An Appointment?
Reaching out to make or book an appointment can be daunting.
We want you to be both comfortable & confident booking an appointment, so we’ve tried to make the process as easy as possible with the option to talk to a clinician first.
Regardless of whether you talk to a clinician or not, all treatment starts with an initial assessment appointment.
Initial assessment appointments are all booked online and payment is taken at the time of booking (this is to ensure that people are committed to treatment and not taking slots that others genuinely need).
Once you book an appointment, the following steps will occur:
You’ll receive an email confirming your appointment;
We’ll send you an email with practice policies to accept & assessment questionnaires to complete, as well as links to your clinician’s video room;
You’ll receive an email with a sleep diary/sleep log and instructions how to keep this. This is kept throughout treatment.;
You’ll receive text message and email reminders before every appointment.
Do I Need A Referral From My GP?
No, a referral from a GP or other health provider is not required.
We are a private clinic so a referral is not required. You can simply make your own booking yourself.
We will update your primary health provider with details for your medical records if you want us to.
If you feel more comfortable with a referral, then simply ask your health provider to contact us and we’ll make the necessary arrangements via them.
2 Different Processes To Book An Appointment
1. Talk To A Clinician First, Then Book
We think it’s really important you have confidence in our ability to treat the issues you are experiencing and have a clear understanding of what treatments are on offer.
That’s why we offer the option of a free 15min chat to talk to an actual sleep specialist before you commit to anything.
Once you’ve talked to a sleep specialist and you feel that our sleep clinic and sleep disorder treatment approach is right for you, the sleep specialist will guide you through the process to book in for an initial assessment consult.
If you’d like a free 15min chat with a sleep specialist just click on the contact button, fill in the form and we’ll be in touch.
2. Book Online Without A Chat
If you want to get the ball rolling fast you can use our self-service online booking portal and follow the steps:
1 - Choose Appointment;
2 - Enter Your Information;
3 - Pay Invoice For Pending Appointment
(You’ll be sent an invoice. We request pending online appointments are paid for before we confirm the appointment. This ensures people are committed and don’t hold appointment slots open that others could use).
