CRS offers a range of respiratory and sleep diagnostic tests, sleep treatment and specialist consultations. Our services include tests such as sleep studies, spirometry and lung function testing, sleep treatment such as CPAP, Mandibular Advancement Splints and positional therapy and sleep and respiratory consultations.
Whilst a referral is not strictly needed to have a diagnostic test or a consultation, it is highly recommended and considered best practice; it allows the results to be sent back to your regular doctor for continuity of care.
Medicare rebates are only payable with a valid referral.
Appointment times vary depending on the test. You can find more information about each test and the expected duration on the specific test page.
