Hospitals in Victoria

The shortest median wait comes first. A hospital with no published median wait 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.
