For families & carers

A clear path to better sleep — from home.

You want answers, not a
long wait

Your child has nighttime and daytime symptoms that might point to sleep apnoea. Your doctor has suggested testing — but you’re worried about waiting lists, travel, and tests in unfamiliar places. You want a clear path to an answer and a way forward.

The sleep clinic comes to you

We send a complete sleep test kit to your home, with simple video instructions. A specialist reviews everything and reports back to your doctor — and for screening and diagnostic kits, you’ll complete a short sleep, ENT, dental and general-health questionnaire and speak with a sleep doctor by video both before and after the test. Faster, local, and from your child’s own bed.

Seven simple steps, mostly from
home

The two video appointments with a sleep doctor and ENT doctor (steps 2 and 7) are included for our V2
screening and V3 diagnostic kits. The V4 sleep test only kit includes an initial sleep doctor video appointment

  1. Your doctor refers you
    Ask your GP, paediatrician, or specialist for a Healiox referral. You don’t need to pick a test — that’s decided for you.
  2. Meet your sleep doctor by video
    Beforehand, we send a short sleep, ENT, dental and general-health questionnaire to complete, so the appointment is focused on your child. Then a children’s sleep physician meets you in a short, bulk-billed telehealth appointment, checks your child’s symptoms and risk, and chooses the right kit to send — screening (V2) or diagnostic (V3).
  3. Your kit arrives
    We post the kit anywhere in Australia, with easy step-by-step video instructions.
  4. Test at bedtime
    Place the sensors as shown. For screening and diagnostic kits, record a short video of your child’s mouth, teeth and tonsils.
  5. Fill in the sleep diary
    Complete the sleep diary on the night of home kit sleep testing — the QR links are in the kit as well.
  6. Post it back
    Post the kit back to us in the pre-paid self-addressed satchel – we will then complete all the reports.
  7. Talk through the results by video Go through the results, and report in a bulk-billed telehealth ENT specialist appointment, and discuss any further investigations, treatments or on-referrals to local specialists.
