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
- Queensland
- Victoria
