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.

What this page leaves out

Private hospitals are excluded. This page covers public hospitals only, so it shows no private hospital.
