Surgery Waits

Category 2, semi-urgent

Surgery in category 2, semi-urgent, is recommended within 90 days of joining the waiting list. It is for a condition that causes some pain, dysfunction or disability. The condition is unlikely to get worse quickly or become an emergency.

245 public hospitals published a share treated on time in 2024–25.

Your treating specialist assigns the category after assessing you. The recommended time is a target.

National figures

The source publishes no national figure for this category. It publishes one figure for each hospital.

Hospitals by share treated on time

The highest share treated within the recommended time comes first. A hospital with no published share 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.

This table scrolls sideways on a narrow screen.

The source publishes no national or state history for this category. Each hospital page shows that hospital's own history.

Other urgency categories

Each link opens the same figures for one of the other two categories.

What this page leaves out

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

Before you use these figures

Surgery Waits is not medical advice. Your general practitioner and your treating specialist can help you decide what is right for you.

In an emergency, call 000.
