Sydney Anaesthetic Billing Service — we handle the rooms, the sites, the chasing.
Fast Tracking bills for private anaesthetists in Sydney from Bendigo. Your Sydney (02) number rings through to your Account Manager. We collect lists from the rooms, send IFCs 7 days before surgery, invoice within 48 hours of your codes and chase rejected claims weekly, for 4.5% + GST of what we collect.
What our anaesthetic billing service takes off your desk in Sydney.
i.
Direct from your Sydney rooms.
We contact every surgical room you work with — from St Vincent's to the SAN to Norwest — and build the relationship ourselves. Your lists come to us every week (you can still send them yourself if you prefer). You're never the courier of your own data.
ii.
One transparent rate.
We charge 4.5%, plus GST, on revenue we successfully collect — the same as our anaesthetic billing service everywhere in Australia. No setup fees, no exit fees, no software charges. The full anaesthetic billing service pricing is published on the next page.
iii.
A named Account Manager.
Every Sydney anaesthetist we look after has a named Account Manager who learns how they practise. When you phone, you speak to the person who handles your billing day to day.
02The Sydney Difference
Sydney list collection isn't the same problem as Melbourne or Brisbane.
Sydney's private health landscape is unusually fragmented. The work is in the geography, not the room.
A single Sydney anaesthetist might cover lists at St Vincent's Private in Darlinghurst on Monday, North Shore Private in St Leonards on Tuesday, Macquarie University Hospital on Wednesday, and the SAN out at Wahroonga by the end of the week. Each site runs different theatre management software. Each surgical room has its own rhythm for releasing lists. Each one requires a relationship to be built with the right person.
A common approach is to ask the anaesthetist to email or upload their lists each week. We do the work ourselves. When you join us, you tell us which Sydney rooms you work with. We contact each one, introduce ourselves, and build the relationship. From that point on, your lists come directly to us every week. The geography stops being your problem.
03Where Sydney Anaesthetists Work
Hospitals and surgical centres we cover for Sydney anaesthetists.
The Sydney anaesthetists we look after work across the major private hospitals and day surgery centres in the metropolitan area, including:
St Vincent's Private HospitalDarlinghurst
Sydney Adventist Hospital · the SANWahroonga
Mater HospitalNorth Sydney
North Shore Private HospitalSt Leonards
Prince of Wales Private HospitalRandwick
Macquarie University HospitalMacquarie Park

Plus day surgery centresEastern Suburbs · North Shore · Inner West
If you work somewhere we don't yet cover, we'll build the relationship with that surgical room before your first list. That's part of the service — not an extra.
04Regional NSW
Anaesthetic billing for regional NSW.
We're a regional business ourselves — our office is in Bendigo — and we bill for regional anaesthetists the same way we do in the capitals. Distance doesn't change the service: lists come to us from the rooms and claims are lodged electronically.
Our regional NSW work currently extends to Albury, which we cover alongside Wodonga as part of regional Victoria, and we'd like to broaden it further. The service is identical to what we provide in Sydney — direct relationships with your surgical rooms, a named Account Manager who learns how you practise, the same 4.5% + GST rate. The only difference is which surgical rooms we'd be building relationships with on your behalf.
If you're in private practice anywhere in regional NSW, we'd genuinely like to talk.
A team built around the Account Manager model — for Sydney's complexity.
Account management from Bendigo. Erin Wilson (Practice Manager), Hannah O’Hanlon and Jamie Hamilton (Account Managers) work from our Bendigo office, wherever you practise.
Billing can easily become a queue: claims go in, claims come out, nobody knows your practice. Fast Tracking runs differently. Every Sydney anaesthetist we look after has a named Account Manager — a real person with the time and training to actually learn how they practise. Which surgeons they cover. Which Sydney rooms run late. Which patients are repeat.
Our Account Managers are anaesthetic-billing specialists, not generalists. They quality-check every claim before submission — catching missed modifiers, time-unit errors, and sequencing issues — and know the anaesthetic MBS rules and quirks of how individual health funds process anaesthetic claims. In a new client's first fortnight, every claim is also checked by a senior biller.
Your administration reflects you. The standards your patients see before they meet you are the standards they'll attribute to you.

06What We Take Off Your Desk
What's included in our anaesthetic billing service rate.
Our rate is 4.5% of what we collect, plus GST, invoiced monthly in arrears. There are no upgrade tiers, no setup fees, and nothing charged on rejected or uncollected claims.
i.Complete billing management
Lists collected from your rooms weekly
Invoice within 48 hours of your codes
Medicare, Eclipse, fund, DVA & NSW workers compensation (icare) claims
Switching from another biller? Here's how the handover works.
Switching? Pick a cut-over date. Your previous biller keeps following up the claims it has already lodged; we bill everything from your first list with us, so nothing is billed twice. Ask them for final reports and keep portal access until those claims settle.
Onboarding usually takes 5–10 business days, plus health-fund processing. There's no setup fee for switching, and no minimum term once you're on board.How switching works →
08From Our Anaesthetists
What our anaesthetists say.
A note on transparency: the testimonial below isn't attributed to a Sydney practice. What it describes is the service you'd receive in NSW, as anywhere else we work.
I've been using Fast Tracking Anaesthetic Billing Services for years and have always found them to be excellent — fast, accurate, and very reliable. Staff are friendly, easy to reach, helpful with queries, and handle client issues with professionalism. Highly recommended.

09Common Questions
Common questions about anaesthetic billing services in Sydney.
Do I need to be in Sydney to work with you?
No — our Sydney anaesthetic billing service is delivered remotely from our team in Bendigo, Victoria. We work with anaesthetists across every Australian capital and regional centre. The service is identical wherever you're based — what changes is the surgical rooms we build relationships with on your behalf.
Which Sydney private hospitals do you cover?
The Sydney anaesthetists we look after work at hospitals and day surgery centres including St Vincent's Private (Darlinghurst), the Sydney Adventist Hospital (Wahroonga), Mater Hospital (North Sydney), North Shore Private (St Leonards), Prince of Wales Private (Randwick), Macquarie University Hospital, Norwest Private (Bella Vista), and beyond. If you join us and work somewhere we haven't dealt with before, we'll build the relationship with that surgical room before your first list. The list above includes the major sites — it isn't exhaustive.
What does the Sydney phone number connect to?
The (02) 9100 0271 number rings through to your Account Manager in Bendigo. We maintain the line for NSW anaesthetists and patients who prefer a Sydney number — there's no offshore call centre, no outsourced switchboard. You'll speak to your named Account Manager or one of their colleagues. Other ways to reach us are on our contact page.
Do you handle NSW workers compensation (icare) anaesthetic claims?
Yes. In NSW, workers compensation is run through icare and the insurers it oversees, with anaesthesia fees set by the SIRA workers compensation fee order, not the private-patient rate. We set up your NSW workers compensation billing at no extra cost, lodge the claims with the right insurer and follow up anything rejected or queried every week.
How is Fast Tracking different from a Sydney-based biller?
We can’t speak for other billers, so here is what we do. We collect your lists direct from each Sydney surgical room every week, so you never upload them yourself. Our rate is published: 4.5% + GST of what we collect, with no setup or exit fees. And you get a named Account Manager who learns how you practise.
What does anaesthetic billing cost in Sydney?
Anaesthetic billing in Sydney costs 4.5% of collected revenue, plus GST, with Fast Tracking. There are no setup fees, no exit fees, no software charges, and no minimum monthly fee. The same rate as everywhere else we work — Sydney isn't priced differently. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Can you handle multi-site practice across Sydney?
Yes. Many Sydney anaesthetists work across several sites in a week. Because we deal with each surgical room individually and collect your lists from each one weekly, rather than asking you to upload them yourself, working across several sites doesn't add to your admin.
How do I switch from my current Sydney billing service?
Switching? Pick a cut-over date. Your previous biller keeps following up the claims it has already lodged; we bill everything from your first list with us, so nothing is billed twice. There is no setup fee and no minimum term. How switching works.
