Prof Catcheside completed his PhD in exercise physiology and worked in exercise, respiratory and sleep scientific support roles before joining the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health in 1997 and Flinders University in 2012 through an ARC Future Fellowship. His research seeks to advance evidence-based measurement practice improvements and understanding of physiological mechanisms underpinning breathing, sleep and circadian disruption in sleep medicine. Current research is developing new methods to quantify ventilation and breathing effort during sleep, and daily body-clock timing, to help improve and streamline healthcare for people with a broad range of sleep problems.

Janet Cheung is a Senior Lecturer specialising in sleep health and behavioural sleep research. Her work focuses on patterns of prescription sleep medication use, including recurrence, persistence, and factors influencing long-term reliance. She has a strong interest in deprescribing, behavioural sleep medicine, and the role of cognitive and psychological factors in medication use. Through her research, she aims to support safer, evidence-based approaches to insomnia management and improve long-term sleep outcomes. Her work contributes to understanding how medication-taking behaviours evolve and how non-pharmacological strategies can better support patients with insomnia.

Dr Donald Lee BSc(Med) MBBS MMed FCCP FRACP is a consultant adult respiratory and sleep physician and Practice Principal at Nepean Lung and Sleep in Western Sydney. He graduated with honours from the University of New South Wales (1999) and completed specialist training at Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Hospital, obtaining his FRACP in 2008. He holds a Master of Medicine from the University of Sydney (2005). His clinical interests include obstructive sleep apnoea, complex sleep-disordered breathing, COPD, asthma, pulmonary thromboembolic disease and lung cancer.

Dr Nicolo Malagutti is a biomedical engineer and researcher at ANU with over 15 years experience in sleep, having worked, among things, as a sleep technologist, research coordinator at Canberra Sleep Clinic, and expert technical assessor for NATA. Nicolo's interests revolve around sleep measurement technology, systems physiology, and advanced data methods in sleep research.

Professor Ron Grunstein AM FAHMS is one of Australia's most distinguished sleep medicine clinicians and researchers, with over 30 years of experience. He holds the Chair of Sleep Medicine at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research (Macquarie University) and is a Senior Staff Specialist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. A pioneer in CPAP therapy and sleep-disordered breathing research, he is Australia's most published sleep researcher with over 400 publications. Past President of the World Sleep Federation (2007–2011) and recipient of multiple honours including the Nathaniel Kleitman Award (AASM, 2011) and Member of the Order of Australia (2019).

Scott Sands has recently returned from Harvard Medical School to start as Professor at School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health and Monash University. He is a recognised leader in obstructive sleep apnea research, known for pioneering physiological approaches to targeted patient selection strategies that aim to improve outcomes and patient choice.

Prof Jordan is the Director of the John Trinder Sleep Laboratory and Deputy Head of the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
