Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between an oxygen concentrator and an oxygen cylinder?
An oxygen concentrator extracts oxygen from room air using a molecular sieve, providing a continuous supply of concentrated oxygen without the need for cylinder refills, making it well suited to long-term home oxygen therapy. Oxygen cylinders provide a finite supply of medical-grade compressed oxygen and are used for portable, short-duration, or backup oxygen needs. Many home oxygen programs use a concentrator as the primary source and cylinders for portable use or outings.

2. Who can prescribe home oxygen therapy in Australia?
Home oxygen therapy in Australia is prescribed by a respiratory physician or specialist physician following a clinical assessment. The Lung Foundation Australia's home oxygen guidelines and the applicable PBS/LTHC funding programs set out the criteria for subsidised home oxygen in Australia. Safety and Mobility can supply home oxygen equipment to clients with an appropriate clinical prescription.
