CPAP Machines Australia — TGA-Approved Sleep Apnoea Treatment
Vectr Medical supplies TGA-approved CPAP and BiPAP machines for sleep apnoea treatment across Australia. Our range is sold and supported by NATA-certified biomedical engineers — not a retail chain. If you have a clinical question about which machine suits your prescription, you’re talking to someone who actually understands respiratory therapy equipment.
What Is a CPAP Machine?
A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine delivers a steady stream of pressurised air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. It is the gold-standard first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) — a condition affecting an estimated 1 in 5 Australians, often undiagnosed.
CPAP therapy can dramatically reduce daytime sleepiness, improve cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease associated with untreated sleep apnoea.
CPAP vs BiPAP — What’s the Difference?
- CPAP (Continuous PAP): delivers one fixed pressure for inhale and exhale. Standard first-line treatment for most OSA patients.
- BiPAP (Bilevel PAP): delivers two pressures — higher on inhale, lower on exhale. For complex cases, high-pressure prescriptions, or patients who struggle to exhale against CPAP pressure.
Your sleep physician or GP will determine which therapy and pressure setting is right for you based on your sleep study results. We strongly recommend having a current prescription before purchasing.

Do I Need a Prescription?
CPAP machines in Australia are regulated as medical devices. While a prescription is not legally required to purchase a CPAP machine, the pressure settings prescribed by your sleep physician are critical to effective treatment. Buying without a diagnosis and sleep study risks ineffective therapy or harm from incorrect pressure.
We recommend consulting your GP or a sleep specialist and obtaining a sleep study before purchasing. Our team can advise on machine suitability based on your prescription.
What About Masks and Accessories?
CPAP masks, tubing, humidifier chambers, and filters are essential to effective therapy and need regular replacement. Contact our team for advice on compatible accessories for your machine — we can source the right consumables for your setup.
