Information for GPs

For General Practitioners

We accept referrals for adults with insomnia, suspected co-existing sleep disorders, and other sleep concerns related to chronic disease or medications. Dr Aji (Clinical Psychologist) accepts referrals for insomnia, circadian rhythm disruptions, nightmares, parasomnias and sleep-related anxiety, as well as other mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation and trauma.

Sleep assessment includes

  • Clinical assessment
  • Screening for sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders
  • Review of psychological, behavioural, and medical contributors
  • Access to home and in-lab sleep studies, and actigraphy, when indicated
  • Evidence-based insomnia treatment including CBT-I

Written communication is provided after assessment, investigations, and during treatment to support ongoing care in primary settings.

Referral pathways

We accept:

  • Standard medical referrals
  • Mental Health Treatment Plans (for CBT for Insomnia Disorder)
  • Referrals for sleep physician review or sleep studies

Home Sleep Study Request

A GP can refer directly for a home sleep study when the patient meets both criteria: an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score of 8 or more, and a STOP-BANG score of 3 or more or an OSA-50 score of 5 or more. The request form includes all three questionnaires.

If these criteria are not met, consider referral for sleep physician assessment before choosing a study.
