Supporting safe treatment of sleep apnoea and return to fitness for work Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold-standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea.​ We work in partnership with NZ Sleep to provide clinical treatment support.
A CPAP machine gently delivers pressurised air through a mask while sleeping. This pressure acts like an air splint, keeping the airway open so breathing remains stable all night. This restores oxygen levels, reduces snoring, improves sleep quality, and allows the brain to achieve the deep restorative sleep needed for safe daytime performance.

Why CPAP
treatment matters
Effective CPAP treatment can dramatically improve alertness, concentration, mood, blood pressure, and safe driving performance within days to weeks.
For organisations, it supports a safe return to driving and demonstrates a clear, evidence-based response to identified fatigue risk.
