Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WA emergency department wait times

What is the triage category 4 wait time at WA EDs?

Triage category 4 (semi-urgent) is one of five triage categories used in Australian emergency departments under the Australasian Triage Scale (ATS). The target is for category 4 patients to be seen within 60 minutes. The times shown here are the average wait for triage 4 patients at each hospital.

What do WA ED patient counts mean?

WA Health reports two counts: 'patients waiting' is the number of people who have been triaged but not yet seen by a doctor. 'Total in ED' includes both waiting patients and those currently being treated. The difference is the number currently receiving care.

How often are WA ED wait times updated?

WA emergency department wait times shown on Doccy refresh every 15 minutes; the underlying WA Health data updates periodically throughout the day. For the most current data, visit the WA Health website directly.

Which WA hospitals report live ED wait times?

10 Perth metropolitan public hospitals that report to the WA Health emergency department activity system are included. This covers major tertiary hospitals and general emergency departments across the Perth metro area.

Should I use WA 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 might my actual wait at a WA emergency department differ?

The triage 4 average wait time is an average across all category 4 patients at that hospital. Your actual wait depends on your specific triage category, the complexity of cases ahead of you, staffing levels, and time of day. Higher-priority patients (categories 1-3) are always seen first.
