Surgery Waits

Urology in New South Wales

Urology in New South Wales: planned surgery waiting times at public hospitals, with the national figures beside them. Public hospitals in New South Wales that published a median wait in 2024–25: 50.

A specialty covers many operations. Its figures describe all the patients treated under the specialty, and say nothing about one operation.

Figures for New South Wales

Each tile shows the state figure and the national figure for the same measure. A state figure is never ranked.

Hospitals in New South Wales

The shortest median wait comes first. A hospital with no published median wait follows, in name order, and has no rank.

A rank compares a hospital with every public hospital in Australia that published the same figure for the same period. The page shows a rank only on a current published figure. It never ranks a withheld or unreported figure. It also never ranks a figure from an earlier period.

Each chart shows one figure for each year the source published it. A year with no published figure is a gap in the line, and the table under the chart gives the reason.

The charts show Australia and New South Wales.
