Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about NSW emergency department wait times

What do the patient counts mean?

The numbers show how many patients are currently registered and waiting for treatment in each emergency department. They are not a direct measure of how long you will wait -- staffing levels, case complexity, and time of day all affect actual wait times.

How often is this data updated?

This page refreshes hourly. The underlying NSW Health data updates approximately every 15 minutes. For the most current data, visit the NSW Health website directly.

Which hospitals are included?

All NSW public hospitals that report to the NSW Health real-time emergency department data system are included. Private hospitals are not part of this reporting system.

Is this data suitable for emergency decisions?

No. Always call 000 for life-threatening emergencies. This data is for general awareness only and should not be used to decide whether to seek emergency care.

Why is a hospital showing 0 patients?

A count of 0 means there are currently no patients assessed by triage and waiting for treatment. It does not mean the department is closed. Patients who have been triaged and are already receiving treatment are not included in the wait count.
