Surgery Waits

Western Australia: Category 3, non-urgent

Surgery in category 3, non-urgent, is recommended within 365 days of joining the waiting list. In Western Australia, 32 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.

Hospitals in Western Australia

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.

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.
