Hospitals by median wait

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.

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.
