Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in Australia but underexamined among First Nations peoples. We conducted a retrospective cross‐sectional analysis of 1563 adult sleep studies in South East Queensland (2022–2023). Thirty‐eight participants (2.4%) identified as First Nations, of whom 74% had OSA. Comorbidities were more frequent among the First Nations cohort, though small sample size limited certainty. These findings reveal both under‐identification of First Nations status and a substantial OSA burden, emphasising the need for culturally informed, community‐led approaches to OSA care in Queensland.
