Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about NSW emergency department wait times

What do NSW ED patient counts mean?

NSW emergency department patient counts show how many people are currently registered and waiting for treatment at each hospital, as reported by NSW Health. 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 are NSW ED wait times updated?

NSW emergency department wait times refresh every 15 minutes, matching the update cycle of the NSW Health real-time feed they are sourced from. For the primary source, visit the NSW Health website directly.

Which NSW hospitals report live ED wait times?

Live wait times cover 58 NSW public hospital emergency departments reporting to the NSW Health real-time emergency department data system. Private hospitals are not part of this reporting system.

Should I use NSW ED wait times to decide whether to seek emergency care?

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

Why is a NSW hospital showing 0 patients waiting?

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