Understanding this data

What does "patients waiting" mean for Lismore Base Hospital?
The patient count shows how many people are currently in Lismore Base Hospital's emergency department waiting room or awaiting treatment. It provides a snapshot of demand, not a direct prediction of your wait time. Factors like triage category, staffing rosters, and the complexity of cases ahead of you determine how quickly you are seen. Lismore Base Hospital has a reported capacity of 14 beds, so the ratio of waiting patients to available beds provides additional context.
When was this information last refreshed?
Patient counts for Lismore Base Hospital are pulled from NSW Health on an hourly cycle. NSW Health itself refreshes its emergency department figures roughly every 15 minutes, so the source data may be slightly more current than what is shown here. You can check NSW Health for the latest.
What if my health concern is not an emergency?
Not every health issue requires an emergency department visit. For non-urgent matters like sick notes, prescriptions, or referral letters, Doccy offers online consultations with AHPRA-registered Australian doctors from $12.90 — available 7 days a week without an appointment.
