The data displayed on DrWaitTimes is based on information collected from Australian state governments, and provides an indication of the time until most patients depart  a relevant emergency department based on historical data after being  seen and discharged. DrWaitTimes does not account for patients who are admitted for further treatment upon presenting, or who leave emergency without being discharged.

DrWaitTimes does not provide live data, and time spent in an emergency department will vary depending on a number of factors, including the time of day and day of the week, and the current hospital/provider conditions (such as the number of emergency patients presenting, triaging practices and staffing). DrWaitTimes does not offer an exhaustive list of hospitals and/or healthcare providers near or available to you.

Users of DrWaitTimes are encouraged to contact the hospitals/providers directly for up-to-date information, and DrWaitTimes does not warrant or represent that any patient will be seen in, or discharged from, an emergency department within a particular timeframe.

The information provided on DrWaitTimes is provided as a guide only and should not be considered a substitute for seeking urgent professional medical advice, assessment, diagnosis or treatment. It is not live data and should not be relied on for the purpose of making a decision about which hospital or healthcare provider is best suited to your needs.
