Surgery Waits

Western NSW surgery waiting times

The public hospitals reporting planned-surgery waiting times under Western NSW in New South Wales.

Reference period 2024–25 (1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025) · released

9 public hospitals report planned-surgery waiting times under Western NSW. Each hospital's page carries every surgery it reports, ranked against the nearest alternatives — including hospitals outside this network, because a waiting list does not care who runs the hospital.

The source groups public hospitals into Local Hospital Networks — called local health districts in New South Wales, hospital and health services in Queensland, health services in Victoria and Western Australia, and networks elsewhere. The grouping is the source's own mapping, not this site's. The source publishes this network as "Western NSW".

What is not here

Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.
