## 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.](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/)

All planned surgery at Mater Mothers' Hospital by urgency category, 2024–25.

| Urgency category | Median wait | Treated within the recommended time | Surgeries |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Urgent](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/category-1/qld/) | 9 days | 99% | 345 surgeries |
| [Semi-urgent](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/category-2/qld/) | 40 days | 100% | 608 surgeries |
| [Non-urgent](https://surgerywaits.au/urgency/category-3/qld/) | 204 days | 97% | 382 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 Mater Mothers'.

Planned surgery at Mater Mothers' Hospital by urgency category, July to September 2025.

| 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 | 381 patients | 97.6% | 0 patients | 0 patients |
| Category 1 — urgent (recommended within 30 days) | 88 patients | 100.0% | 0 patients | 0 patients |
| Category 2 — semi-urgent (recommended within 90 days) | 180 patients | 99.4% | 0 patients | 0 patients |
| Category 3 — non-urgent (recommended within 365 days) | 113 patients | 92.9% | 0 patients | 0 patients |

### 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.

Planned surgery at Mater Mothers' Hospital by surgical specialty, July to September 2025.

| Group | Patients treated | Treated within the recommended time | Still waiting at the end of the quarter | Waiting longer than recommended |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Gynaecology | 381 patients | 97.6% | 0 patients | 0 patients |
