About waiting time
The time in minutes between when a patient presents at the emergency department and when they are first seen by a nurse or a doctor for treatment.
When a patient arrives at an emergency department, they are ‘triaged’ (assessed) for urgency and categorised on a scale from Triage Category 1 (requires resuscitation – immediate treatment) to Triage Category 5 (non-urgent).
For non-emergency care, alternative care pathways may provide shorter wait times. You can read more here:
Please note that the estimated wait times displayed are an estimate and an average of Categories 3-5 presentations. Emergency departments will always treat the sickest patients first.
