The Sydney Children’s Hospital (SCH) Department of Sleep Medicine began operations using full overnight Polysomnography (PSG or “Sleep Studies”) in 1995. It is one of only a few state of the art facilities in the world solely dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in infants and children, functioning as an independent medical department of its own. It receives extensive referrals from all subspecialties within a tertiary referral hospital, located on the largest teaching hospital campus in the Southern Hemisphere. The 4-bed, state-of-the-art sleep laboratory is one of the leading paediatric sleep centres in the Asia-Pacific Region. Over 700 studies are conducted per year. The Department has trained many specialists who now lead their fields around the world.
