More than
1 in 5 Australians
have a sleep disorder.
We’re here to help.
You deserve a good night’s sleep
But more than 1 in 5 Australians live with a sleep disorder, often accompanied by mental health challenges like anxiety or depression, and physical issues such as obesity or type 2 diabetes.
Practitioners on our platform understand that sleep health isn’t just about feeling rested; it’s about helping you lead a healthier and happier life.
At digisleep, we’re improving sleep health across Australia through:
- world-class expertise, wide-ranging options: Book consultations with Australia’s leading sleep experts, accessing multidisciplinary care for sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia.
- care and confidence: When you connect with a practitioner, you are connecting with a sleep expert dedicated to providing warm and high-quality care. Online consultations are conducted securely and confidentially.
- innovation: Recent scientific advances in cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, and in weight loss programs for sleep apnea, have opened up new treatment options for chronic problems. New technologies have transformed how sleep disorders can be diagnosed.
World-class expertise, wide-ranging options
On digisleep, you can book online consultations with Australia’s leading sleep health experts.
Our multidisciplinary network offers access to a range of practitioners, including sleep specialist physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, dietitians, and sleep coaches. Approximately 30% hold professorships and 65% hold PhDs, ensuring you have access to world-class, research-informed care.
Sleep is shaped by complex physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors, which means that effective care often requires a multidimensional approach. Whether you need medical treatment, mental health support, nutritional guidance, or lifestyle and behavioural advice to improve sleep quality, you can find the expertise you need right in one place.
Care and confidence
Living with a sleep disorder can feel isolating. You may have tried sleeping pills or lifestyle changes without success, or perhaps you’ve delayed seeking help because some diagnostic tests and therapies can seem uncomfortable or disruptive to daily life. With digisleep, you can access sleep tests and tailored therapies designed to fit seamlessly into your life, even if you’ve struggled with other options in the past.
When you connect with a practitioner through digisleep, you are connecting with an expert dedicated to providing warm, compassionate, and high-quality care. Whether you need support for sleep apnea, help retraining your sleep patterns, or a holistic plan that addresses the physical and emotional impacts of poor sleep, the practitioners on our network are here for you.
Every consultation is conducted securely and confidentially, so you can focus on getting the care you deserve.
Innovation: medical weight loss, CBT-I, and home sleep testing
We are a digihealth solution that keeps pace with the latest medical research.
We understand that people living with insomnia, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders often face barriers to care, including access to specialists, uncomfortable diagnostics, or treatments and therapies that feel hard to maintain.
For people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), medical weight loss programs are an important recent breakthrough. Excess weight is a key contributor to OSA severity, and targeted programs focusing on sustainable fat loss have been shown to reduce airway obstruction during sleep, improve oxygenation, and decrease daytime sleepiness. These medically-supervised approaches are especially effective for patients with mild to moderate OSA, and can complement or reduce reliance on device-based therapies like CPAP.
For people who are unable to fall or stay asleep, cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended by international bodies as the first-line treatment for insomnia. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I addresses the causes of poor sleep by retraining the mind and body for healthier sleep patterns. Research shows CBT-I helps people fall asleep faster, reduce broken sleep, and feel better during the day.
Home sleep testing has transformed how sleep disorders are diagnosed. We offer a home sleep test that is the accurate, convenient and comfortable option, where more complex lab testing isn’t needed, helping you get answers quickly and comfortably. The home sleep test has been clinically evaluated to output measurements comparable to those calculated during a polysomnography (PSG) study, like in a sleep lab.
