Hospitals in Queensland by median wait

Each row is a public hospital in Queensland. The columns show the median wait for all planned surgery in one urgency category. The shortest median wait for category 1 comes first. A hospital with no published figure 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.

Urgency categories in Queensland

This list holds every public hospital in Queensland in the national register, in name order. A closed hospital is marked.

Queensland Health quarterly figures

Queensland Health publishes figures for its hospitals each quarter. They come from a different source from the national figures on this page, so this section keeps them apart. It does not rank them and does not compare them with the national figures or with other states.

48 Queensland Health hospitals match a national hospital and are listed in name order.
