Patient Information

When it comes to anaesthesia, precision and professionalism guide every aspect of our practice. The Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) is responsible for setting the professional standards for the medical speciality of anaesthesia.

Within the Patient Information section of the ANZCA website, you will discover a range of easily accessible resources covering numerous topics related to anaesthesia. These include:

  • What is anaesthesia
  • What are the types of anaesthesia used
  • What does your anaesthetist do
  • What should you expect before, during and after your anaesthetic
  • What are the risks and complications you should be aware of

Whether you are undergoing routine surgery or a more specialised operation, these resources provide invaluable insights about your unique needs.

Fees

Anaesthesia services involve a nuanced approach to pricing. When calculating our fees, we take into account various factors such as the complexity and duration of the procedure, the type of anaesthesia required, and your unique medical circumstances. It is important to note that anaesthetic fees are separate and are charged in addition to any potential Surgeon and Hospital/Facility fees.

It is important to note that fee structures may vary among anaesthetists, as mandated by regulations.

While some health funds may cover 100% of your anaesthesia fees, commonly referred to as “no gap,” this may not always be the case. We encourage you to consult with your health fund to explore your coverage options, including rebates and potential gaps. To learn more about private health insurance, click here.
