The Australian biohacking hub
Sauna, plunge, float, sleep. Find the place, then check the evidence.
Where to sweat, plunge and recover in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, and what the research actually says about each practice. Free listings, no paid placements, nothing for sale.

The Australian biohacking index
What Australians search for, beside what the evidence shows
Monthly Google searches in Australia for each topic’s main term, measured by Pure Biohacking through DataForSEO on 3 October 2026. Popularity and evidence are not the same thing.

Our standard
How we grade, and what we never list
The grades
Moderate: systematic reviews of randomised trials find a real effect with moderate certainty. Low or very low: some trials, small or inconsistent. Not shown: trials looked and found little. Regulator warning: the TGA or the Department of Health has warned Australians about it.
The directory
Free editorial listings only. No venue pays to be listed or ranked. Facilities as reported by the named source; check with the venue before you go. No products, and no prescription treatments, are listed.
Never listed
Prescription-only medicines and the clinics that sell them, injectable peptides, IV drips and anything sold with a health claim the evidence does not support. We sell nothing and take no commission.
