Your journey with Auckland Sleep
Each person with sleep health issues is different. That’s why at Auckland Sleep, we are different too. We don’t believe in a cookie-cutter type one-size-fits-all approach.
And there’s good reason for that.
Your journey with Auckland Sleep
Traditionally, sleep healthcare providers have worked in isolated clinics and have relied on the patient’s GP to refer them to other specialties. This is a labour-intensive and time-taking process.
Auckland Sleep model
At Auckland Sleep, our model is different.
Initial Pre-Consult : gathering information
Once you have filled up our Contact Us form, you will receive an email from Auckland Sleep with a link to our registration form. This allows us to get additional information about your unique sleep health needs. Please keep an eye on your junk mail folder as well as your inbox.
Your personal information will only be used for your Auckland Sleep journey. We will never share your information with any third parties unless it is for your ongoing healthcare and you have given us the all-clear.
Following that, our Sleep Navigator will be in touch to discuss your sleep health issues further and brainstorm the best personalised approach for you. Not all sleep healthcare tests and treatments are adequately funded in New Zealand. Our Sleep Navigator will keep your funding status in mind while formulating a plan together with you.
The purpose of this step is to ensure you see the appropriate person for your condition meaning you can start your journey to better sleep quickly and effectively, backed up by our ongoing support every step of the way.
Specialist consultations and tests
Once we have the completed questionnaire we will arrange an appointment for you to see our specialists. This consultation will usually involve a sleep evaluation but may also involve further tests and/or scans to provide a more accurate understanding of any issues.
If there is a long wait to see the specialist, we may discuss getting appropriate tests done while you are waiting.
We encourage you to bring a family member or support person to your appointments. People rarely suffer from sleep disruption alone. At Auckland Sleep, we like working with you and your support crew as part of the team.
Treatment plan
After the initial consult is done, Auckland Sleep will then create a personalized treatment plan. As part of this plan you will have access to the entire team of Auckland Sleep experts, as well as having a single point of contact to coordinate your care between specialists.

Ongoing support
You are not alone. Auckland Sleep will support you through every step of your sleep journey.
We will check in at regular intervals to see if there’s anything more we can be doing and how you are progressing with your sleep journey.
We do not give up on our patients. Once you are part of the Auckland Sleep family, we are friends for life!
