Where the wait is shorter nearby

Bars show the median wait in days. The vertical line at 26 days marks the national median.

Distances are straight-line, measured between hospital locations, and are approximate. The search covered 500 km — the radius was widened because fewer than four hospitals published a figure within 250 km.

Some of these hospitals are in another state — a public hospital referral can cross the border, so ask your GP what that would mean for you.
