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

How waits have changed
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 the three states that treated the most patients in 2024–25.
- Australia
- New South Wales
- South Australia
- Victoria
- No figure published for this year. The table gives the reason.
