CPAP Trials & Rentals

Starting CPAP therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you’re starting with a supported CPAP trial, need a CPAP rental for Queensland Health compliance, or are looking for a short-term rental while travelling, our team can help you find the right option.

Why Start with a CPAP Trial?

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, a CPAP trial allows you to get comfortable with therapy before deciding on your longer-term setup.
You’ll receive:

A CPAP machine and mask to trial at home
The opportunity to trial multiple masks to help find the right fit for you
Professional fitting and setup from our clinical team
Personalised adjustments to help improve your comfort
Ongoing support to answer your questions and guide you through the process

Our goal is to help you settle into therapy smoothly, so you can feel confident using your CPAP at home and find a setup that works for you.

CPAP Trials & Rentals FAQs

What’s the difference between a CPAP trial and a CPAP rental?

A CPAP trial is generally for someone starting CPAP therapy who wants to get comfortable with their machine, mask and setup with professional support before deciding on their longer-term equipment.

A CPAP rental gives you access to CPAP equipment for a particular period or purpose, such as meeting Queensland Health compliance requirements or using a CPAP machine while travelling.
