How Much Does a Hyperbaric Chamber Cost? AU Prices 2026

The short answer

In 2026 a new hyperbaric chamber supplied and installed in Australia costs between A$11,776 for a soft-shell portable and A$74,886 for a two-person flagship hard-shell, inc GST. The three bands that matter:

Band	Pressure	Typical buyer	Price inc GST
Soft-shell portable (FLOW Recline 70, FLOW Seated 80)	1.5 ATA	Home, mobile, remote sites	A$11,776
Entry hard-shell (FLOW Capsule 85, CUBOID Mini, LUME 75/90)	1.9–2.0 ATA	Gyms, small studios, sports teams	A$21,015 – A$33,985
Clinic-width hard-shell (ARC, CORE, CUBOID Duo)	2.0 ATA	Recovery studios, allied health, corporate	A$55,670 – A$70,478
Flagship (AURA Mini / Solo / Duo)	2.0 ATA	Longevity centres, hotels and spas	A$69,229 – A$74,886

Every price on this site includes delivery, positioning, commissioning and operator training. Several models are quoted per project (CORE Narrow, CUBOID Solo, NAUTIC 85, ARC Seat Max, LUME Pet 60, AURA Orbit) because freight and fit-out vary too much to publish a single number.

What actually moves the price

→Shell type. A soft-shell is a fabric pressure bag with a zip and a frame; a hard-shell is a steel or acrylic vessel with a door and windows. The vessel is most of the cost difference — and most of the weight (30 kg against 330–1,450 kg).
→Maximum pressure. 1.5 ATA soft-shells sit at the bottom of the range; 2.0 ATA hard-shells at the top. The vessel, door seals and control system are all built heavier for 2.0.
→Width and seats. CORE Narrow → CORE Solo → CORE Duo is the same platform at three widths. Each step adds roughly A$8k at list.
→Finish. The AURA series and ARC Seat Pro cost more for the same pressure because of the panoramic acrylic, lighting and interior — they are bought for the room as much as the session.
→Engine. Every Oxivity chamber ships with the TRIAD engine (compressor, PSA oxygen generation to ≥93%, cooling) in one cabinet. There is no separate concentrator or cylinder contract to price.

What to budget beyond the chamber

The chamber is usually 70–85% of the all-in cost of opening a room. Plan for the rest:

→Room. A standard treatment room (3.0 × 2.4 m) takes most single-person models. No plant room, no gas store. Budget paint, a lockable door and a chair rather than a fit-out.
→Electrical. A standard power point on an RCD-protected circuit. If the room has none, an electrician's visit is a few hundred dollars, not thousands.
→Floor loading. Hard-shells from 560 kg upward on an upper floor need a building-manager or engineer sign-off. Ground floor is simpler.
→Water. 5–10 L of purified water for the cooling loop; a filter jug or bottled supply is enough.
→Insurance. Tell your insurer what you are installing and how you will use it before you open bookings. Premiums vary with the use you describe.
→Compliance. Depending on how you intend to present sessions, ARTG inclusion, advertising rules and WHS plant registration may apply — see the regulatory note below and our guide to starting a hyperbaric business.

Finance and payback

Most commercial buyers finance the chamber as equipment over 3–5 years. At the base case on our recovery-studio page — 30 sessions a week at A$110 — a CORE Solo covers its list price in about five months of net contribution; a CUBOID Mini in a gym at 24 sessions a week at A$65 in about four. The solutions pages carry a worked table for each setting so you can plug in your own numbers.

Used and imported chambers

Second-hand and direct-import chambers appear at a third of these prices. Check what you are buying: whether the vessel has a pressure-equipment design registration, whether the oxygen source is a cylinder you must contract for, who commissions it, and whether anyone in Australia will service it. Oxivity only supplies what it can install, train and support.

Questions people ask

Is GST included in Oxivity prices?

Yes. Every price on this site is inc GST, in Australian dollars, for delivery and installation in Australia. New Zealand, USA and UAE pricing is quoted per project.

Why are some chambers "price on application"?

Freight and installation on the heaviest and most customised models (CUBOID Solo, NAUTIC 85, ARC Seat Max, AURA Orbit) vary too much by site to publish one number. We quote within a day of seeing the room.

Are there ongoing costs?

Electricity from a standard power point, purified water for the cooling loop, periodic filters, and a clean-down between sessions. There are no gas cylinders to buy because the engine generates its own oxygen. We allow 10% of session revenue in the worked tables on the solutions pages.

Can I rent a chamber instead of buying?

Talk to us. Rental and rent-to-own are arranged per project for commercial sites; the worked numbers on the solutions pages are for an outright purchase.
