Fast Tracking is a boutique Melbourne anaesthetic billing service founded by a practising Victorian anaesthetist. We collect your operating lists from every surgical room ourselves — every week — answer your patients' pre-op queries on your behalf, and follow every claim until it's resolved. Whether you split your week between public and private, or run a fully private list across Epworth, Cabrini and Knox, your billing fits cleanly behind your practice.
You stay in theatre. We do the rest.
We contact every surgical room you work with — from Epworth Richmond to Cabrini Malvern to Knox — and build the relationship ourselves. Your lists come to us automatically, every week. You're never the courier of your own data.
We charge 4.5%, plus GST, on revenue we successfully collect. No setup fees, no exit fees, no software charges. The full anaesthetic billing service pricing is published on the next page.
Every Melbourne anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated account manager who learns how they practise. The kind of attention that mass-scale anaesthetic billing services structurally can't offer.
Most anaesthetic billing companies serving Melbourne are run from interstate. We're not. Fast Tracking is a Victorian company, founded by a Victorian anaesthetist, with our team in Bendigo — about 150 kilometres up the Calder.
That matters more than it sounds. Melbourne private practice has its own shape: a long-established Epworth and Cabrini culture in the inner east; a strong public/private split among consultants who hold appointments at the Royal Melbourne, the Alfred or Monash; a denser cluster of day surgery centres than any other capital. Knowing those rhythms isn't something you learn from a Sydney call centre.
When you join us, you tell us which Melbourne 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, automatically. Public sessions stay out of our workflow entirely; we only see what you bill privately.
The Melbourne anaesthetists we look after work across the major private hospitals and day surgery centres in the metropolitan area. Grouped by area for the way Melbourne practice actually clusters:
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.
Most boutique anaesthetic billing services are run out of capital-city offices and treat regional work as an afterthought. We're the opposite. Our head office is in Bendigo — we are a regional Victorian business. Many of the anaesthetists we look after practise at Bendigo Health, St John of God Bendigo and St John of God Geelong, and the surgical rooms there know us by name.
Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Albury-Wodonga, the Mornington Peninsula — we cover all of it. The service is identical to what we provide in Melbourne — direct relationships with your surgical rooms, a dedicated account manager who learns how you practise, the same 4.5% all-inclusive rate. The only difference is which rooms we'd be building relationships with on your behalf.
If you're an anaesthetist in private practice in regional Victoria — or splitting your week between Melbourne and a regional centre — we'd genuinely like to talk.
There's a simple reason most boutique anaesthetic billing services charge 4–6%, while volume-based agencies advertise 2–3% headline rates: the cheaper rate covers fewer hands. Here's the actual difference, with no marketing language.
For most Melbourne anaesthetists in private practice, the gap between 4.5% and 2% works out to less than the time-value of an hour or two of theatre work per fortnight — and saves orders of magnitude more than that in the admin we take off your desk.

Every Melbourne anaesthetist we look after has a dedicated account manager — a real person with the time and training to actually learn how they practise. Which surgeons they cover. Which Melbourne rooms run late. Which days are public, which are private. Which patients are repeat.
Our account managers are medical-billing specialists, not generalists. They train specifically on anaesthetic MBS coding, time-based items, modifiers, and the quirks of how individual health funds process anaesthetic claims. Over 99% of our claims are accepted on first submission — the result of competence, not luck.
Your administration reflects you. The standards your patients see before they meet you are the standards they'll attribute to you.
Our 4.5% all-inclusive rate covers the entire anaesthetic billing workflow. There are no upgrade tiers, no setup fees, and no surprise invoices.
If you're currently with another billing service in Melbourne — whether that's a small Victorian operator or one of the larger national agencies — we handle the migration entirely. You give us a single point of contact at your current provider; we coordinate the transfer of your patient records, Informed Financial Consents, and any in-flight claims.
Most anaesthetists are fully migrated within five business days, with zero gap in collections. Free migration is included as standard. There's no setup fee for switching, and no minimum term once you're on board.
