Urgency categories
Urgency figures cover all planned surgery at the hospital, not one procedure. They are never combined with the procedure figures. Your treating specialist assigns your urgency category — it is not something you choose. What the categories mean, and how every hospital compares.
| Urgency category | Median wait | Treated within the recommended time | Surgeries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urgent | 20 days | 80% | 2374 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 64 days | 87% | 2253 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 279 days | 93% | 1327 surgeries |
Queensland's own quarterly figures
Queensland Health publishes its own figures every three months. They count differently from the national figures above and are never combined with them. This quarter ends after the national reporting period, so it is the more recent of the two.
These figures count patients, not surgeries, and they are a snapshot of one quarter. The table above covers a whole financial year. Comparing a number from one table with a number from the other does not tell you anything.
Covers July to September 2025, published by Queensland Health on 28 October 2025. Reported as Queen Elizabeth II.
| Group | Patients treated | Treated within the recommended time | Still waiting at the end of the quarter | Waiting longer than recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All planned surgery at this hospital | 1524 patients | 81.2% | 2862 patients | 78 patients |
| Category 1 — urgent (recommended within 30 days) | 667 patients | 75.4% | 220 patients | 19 patients |
| Category 2 — semi-urgent (recommended within 90 days) | 532 patients | 83.5% | 678 patients | 48 patients |
| Category 3 — non-urgent (recommended within 365 days) | 325 patients | 89.5% | 1964 patients | 11 patients |
By surgical specialty
Queensland reports by surgical specialty, not by procedure. A specialty covers many different operations, so a specialty figure is never a figure for any one of them.
| Group | Patients treated | Treated within the recommended time | Still waiting at the end of the quarter | Waiting longer than recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General surgery | 385 patients | 95.1% | 802 patients | 4 patients |
| Gynaecology | 322 patients | 92.5% | 600 patients | 3 patients |
| Orthopaedic surgery | 316 patients | 95.6% | 915 patients | 2 patients |
| Urology | 501 patients | 54.3% | 545 patients | 69 patients |
