Queensland's quarterly figures for general surgery

These are not figures for mastectomy. Queensland reports by surgical specialty, not by procedure. A specialty covers many different operations, so a specialty figure is never a figure for any one of them.

Queensland Health publishes its own figures every three months. They count differently from the national figures above and are never combined with them. This quarter ends after the national reporting period, so it is the more recent of the two.

Covers July to September 2025, published by Queensland Health on 28 October 2025. Reported as Caboolture.

Patients treated: 268 patientsJuly to September 2025 · released 28 October 2025
