Hospitals in Victoria by median wait

Each row is a public hospital in Victoria. 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.
