- What does the patient count mean?
- The number shows how many patients are currently registered and waiting for treatment in the emergency department. It is 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 updated?
- Data is refreshed hourly. The underlying NSW Health data updates approximately every 15 minutes. For the most current reading, visit NSW Health directly.
- What if I have a non-emergency health need?
- For illnesses, medical certificates, referrals, or prescriptions that do not require emergency care, you can see an AHPRA-registered doctor online through Doccy from $12.90 — no appointment needed.
