Experience the Possibilities...
Experience the science-backed benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to enhance recovery, boost energy, and support overall wellness. Step into a world where oxygen becomes your catalyst for transformation.
At GC Wellness Centre, our world class hyperbaric chamber creates an environment where your cells can experience oxygen in ways ordinary breathing cannot provide — enhancing your body's remarkable capacity for renewal and optimisation.
When you immerse yourself in our hyperbaric oxygen environment, you may discover:
Enhanced Cellular Energy - Your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, can utilise the increased oxygen to potentially produce more ATP, giving you the foundation for improved vitality.
Optimised Recovery - Athletes and active individuals may experience accelerated muscle recovery and reduced soreness as tissues receive amplified oxygen saturation.
Improved Cognitive Clarity - Your brain consumes approximately 20% of your body's oxygen. Increasing oxygen delivery may support mental sharpness, focus, and cognitive function.
Skin Revitalisation - The increased oxygen environment may support collagen production and cellular turnover, potentially contributing to a more vibrant appearance.
Systemic Support - Every system in your body requires oxygen to function optimally. Hyperbaric sessions create an environment where your entire body receives concentrated oxygen support.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a powerful wellness technology that allows you to breathe 92-95% pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
While traditionally used in specific medical applications, our approach integrates this powerful modality into a comprehensive wellness lifestyle.
At GC Wellness Centre, you'll experience wellness in our state-of-the-art hard shell chamber. This allows your lungs to gather significantly more oxygen than would be possible at normal air pressure, enabling your blood to carry this extra oxygen throughout your body.
To maximise your session’s benefits, we also incorporate red light therapy inside the chamber, giving your body an extra boost—all while you relax in a comfortable, calming setting.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy safely increases the body’s oxygen uptake by raising the barometric pressure. Under pressure, additional oxygen is dissolved into the blood plasma and increased oxygen in the plasma leads to higher amounts of oxygen being delivered to the body’s tissues, organs and brain.
The hyperbaric chamber provides up to 300% more oxygen saturation, allowing wounds to heal faster, swelling to be reduced much more quickly, restoration or increased blood flow to injured areas accelerating healing, aiding in detoxification and promoting general wellness as well as aiding the treatment of chronic diseases while maximising other modalities and decreases lactic build up.
Bacteria, viruses, pathogens and yeast cannot survive in an oxygen enriched environment and the pressurised environment of the chamber facilitates recovery much more quickly from surgery or injury.
A cause of tissue degeneration is lack of oxygen caused by stress, illness, disease or injury. Oxygen gives athletes stamina, helps heal injuries faster and protects us from environmental toxins.
Imagine giving your body the ultimate recovery boost—more energy, faster healing, and improved overall wellness.
A Hyperbaric Oxygen Session helps flood your body with 99% pure oxygen, something you can’t achieve in everyday life. Oxygen is essential for healing, reducing inflammation, and enhancing performance, but most of us aren’t getting enough of it.
At GC Wellness Centre, our state-of-the-art hard-shell chamber increases oxygen absorption by allowing your lungs to take in significantly more oxygen than at normal air pressure. This extra oxygen is then carried through your bloodstream, helping your body:
✅ Speed up recovery and reduce inflammation
✅ Improve energy levels and mental clarity
✅ Support skin health, circulation, and overall well-being
Bonus: We take it a step further by combining your session with red light therapy inside the chamber, giving your body an extra healing boost—all while you relax.
Settle In: Enter our spacious, world class hyperbaric chamber and position yourself comfortably. Many clients bring a book or use this time for meditation or listening to podcasts.
Pressurisation: Experience a gentle ear-popping sensation similar to ascending in an airplane as the chamber pressurises. Our team will guide you through simple equalisation techniques if needed.
In-session Phase: Breathe normally while relaxing in the oxygen-rich environment. Your session typically lasts 40-60 minutes, during which your body absorbs the concentrated oxygen.
Integrated Red Light Therapy: Uniquely at GC Wellness Centre, we combine the benefits of red light therapy during your hyperbaric session, potentially enhancing cellular energy production and tissue support.
Depressurisation: At session's end, the chamber gradually returns to normal pressure, and you'll exit feeling refreshed and energised.
Hyperbaric oxygen at GC Wellness Centre is very safe when administered properly by our team. We follow strict protocols and safety standards with our world class equipment.
Most people experience no significant side effects.
Some might feel slight ear pressure (similar to being in an airplane), which can be easily managed with simple equalisation techniques that our team will teach you.
Our pre-session assessment helps identify anyone who might have contraindications prior to the session.

The Science Behind Hyperbaric Oxygen...
90% of our body’s energy comes from oxygen
Oxygen is a vital part of our lives and is used for all of the body’s essential functions. For example, the brain which is only two per cent of our total weight, uses more than 20% of the body’s oxygen.
Only 10% of our energy comes from our food and water, while the remaining 90% comes from oxygen. Bacteria, toxins, viruses and parasites do not do well in an oxygen-rich environment.
The fundamental principle of hyperbaric oxygen therapy lies in Henry's Law of Physics: under increased pressure, liquids absorb more gas.
When applied to your body, this means your plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and other bodily fluids can carry substantially more oxygen when under pressure.
This increased oxygen saturation creates several cascading effects in your cellular environment:
- Mitochondrial Support: Research suggests enhanced oxygen availability may increase mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production.
- Stem Cell Mobilization: A 2020 study published in Aging found that HBOT protocols could trigger stem cell mobilization, potentially supporting tissue regeneration (Hachmo et al., 2020).
- Reduced Oxidative Stress: While oxygen is essential for life, the relationship is complex. Studies indicate that controlled hyperbaric protocols may actually help regulate oxidative stress rather than increase it.
As we speak with clients, we often explain it this way: imagine your cells as a fireplace. Oxygen is like airflow to that fire—the right amount in the right conditions allows for optimal energy production without excess smoke or burnout!
Cognitive Function
This groundbreaking study demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved neurocognitive functions in post-COVID-19 patients. Researchers observed enhanced attention, information processing speed, and executive function following a structured HBOT protocol, alongside notable improvements in energy levels and quality of life measures.
Brain Aging
This pioneering research published in Aging revealed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may affect fundamental aspects of cellular aging. The study documented significant telomere elongation in immune cells and decreased senescent cell accumulation—potentially addressing key mechanisms of biological aging at the cellular level.
Long-COVID
This Nature Scientific Reports study found that HBOT improved both cognitive and physical symptoms in individuals suffering from post-COVID conditions. Patients experienced significant improvements in energy, sleep, psychiatric symptoms, and information processing following a structured hyperbaric protocol.
Anti-microbial & Wound Healing
In this paper, we reviewed the general aspect of HBOT procedures, the mechanisms of antimicrobial effects and the application in the treatment of infections. Parts of the antimicrobial effects of HBOT are believed to result of reactive from the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is also said that HBOT enhances the antimicrobial effects of the immune system.

More Frequently Asked Questions About Hyperbaric Oxygen
For your comfort and safety, we recommend wearing loose-fitting, 100% cotton clothing during your hyperbaric session. Synthetic materials can create static electricity in the oxygen-rich environment, so cotton is strongly preferred.
Avoid wearing jewelry, watches, or electronic devices, and remove any petroleum-based products like lip balm, heavy cosmetics, perfume or lotion before your session if possible.
A standard session at GC Wellness Centre lasts approximately 40-60 minutes. This includes about 10-15 minutes for pressurisation (compression), 30 minutes at the therapeutic pressure where you breathe pure oxygen, and 10-15 minutes for depressurisation (decompression). We recommend allowing about 1.5 hours total for your visit to include check-in, preparation, and post-session easing time.
This is a common concern, but most clients find our chambers surprisingly spacious and comfortable.
Our hard shell chambers feature clear acrylic sections that allow you to see outside, helping minimize feelings of confinement.
Our team remain in visual contact with you through the session, and there's a two-way communication system.
For those with claustrophobia concerns, we recommend a brief orientation session before your first treatment. Most clients who initially worry about claustrophobia find they adapt quickly in our experience.
Most clients experience no significant side effects. Some temporary effects might include:
• Ear pressure or popping (similar to airplane travel)
• Mild fatigue after initial sessions as your body adapts
• Lightheadedness that quickly resolves after the session
More serious side effects are rare in our controlled wellness setting. Our pre-session assessment helps identify any potential risks specific to your situation.
GC Wellness Centre offers Australia's only hyperbaric treatment that integrates red light therapy within the chamber to date in 2025.
This unique combination potentially enhances cellular benefits through complementary mechanisms.
Additionally, our approach views hyperbaric oxygen not as an isolated treatment but as part of a comprehensive quantum lifestyle.
We use only world class, hard shell chambers, ensuring precise pressure control, optimal safety, and consistent oxygen levels during your session.
We recommend having a light meal 1-2 hours before your session. Avoid heavy, gas-producing foods and carbonated beverages that might cause discomfort during pressurisation. Stay well-hydrated before your session, but avoid large amounts of caffeine, which can constrict blood vessels and potentially reduce some benefits of the therapy.
During the pressurisation phase, you'll likely feel a gentle pressure in your ears, similar to descending in an airplane.
Our teamwill teach you simple techniques to equalise ear pressure, such as swallowing, yawning, or the Valsalva maneuver (gently blowing against pinched nostrils).
The chamber will gradually warm during pressurization.
During depressurisation, you may notice a cooling sensation and mild ear popping as the pressure normalises. These sensations are normal and typically mild.
Many athletes incorporate hyperbaric oxygen therapy into their training and recovery routines. The increased oxygen availability may support:
• Accelerated recovery after intense training
• Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation
• Enhanced energy production in muscle tissue
• Improved circulation and nutrient delivery
• Optimised cellular repair processes
While individual results vary, many of our athletic clients report noticeable improvements in recovery time and performance when using hyperbaric oxygen consistently.
At the cellular level, oxygen is essential for mitochondria—your cells' power plants—to produce ATP, your body's primary energy currency.
Under hyperbaric conditions, the increased oxygen saturation potentially supports more efficient energy production throughout your body.
This may be particularly beneficial in tissues with higher energy demands like your brain, heart, and muscles. The increased cellular energy may contribute to the feelings of vitality and mental clarity many clients report following their sessions.
Getting started is simple. First, contact us at 0458 500 001 to schedule an initial consultation. During this session, we'll discuss your wellness goals, review your health history to ensure hyperbaric therapy is appropriate for you, and answer any questions you might have.
We'll provide an orientation to the chamber and procedures, then help you design an optimal session frequency based on your needs.
Most clients begin with a single session to experience the session before committing to one of our cost-effective membership packages for ongoing sessions.
