About the wait time

  • The information on this page shows how long you are likely to wait for your first consultation with a clinician (doctor, nurse practitioner or other health practitioner) when you visit this emergency department.
  • This page does not show the total time you will spend in the emergency department. You are likely to spend more time in the emergency department following your first consultation, depending on the tests, treatment and care that you need.
  • We see patients in order of urgency, not in order of when they arrive: when a patient arrives, we triage them (assess the urgency of their condition) and give them a triage category ranging from 1 (needs resuscitation or immediate life-saving treatment) to 5 (needs non-urgent care). We always see the sickest patients first.

If you need care for an urgent, but not life-threatening condition, you can often get seen much faster through alternative care options. Learn more
