Waiting times by surgery

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 | 21 days | 93% | 472 surgeries |
| Semi-urgent | 50 days | 95% | 412 surgeries |
| Non-urgent | 227 days | 93% | 162 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 Maryborough.
| 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 | 207 patients | 97.1% | 208 patients | 2 patients |
| Category 1 — urgent (recommended within 30 days) | 81 patients | 95.1% | 25 patients | 0 patients |
| Category 2 — semi-urgent (recommended within 90 days) | 78 patients | 98.7% | 61 patients | 1 patient |
| Category 3 — non-urgent (recommended within 365 days) | 48 patients | 97.9% | 122 patients | 1 patient |
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 | 103 patients | 95.1% | 72 patients | 0 patients |
| Gynaecology | 59 patients | 100.0% | 79 patients | 2 patients |
| Orthopaedic surgery | 45 patients | 97.8% | 57 patients | 0 patients |
