Hospitals in Victoria
The shortest median wait comes first. A hospital with no published median wait follows, in name order, and has no rank.
A rank compares a hospital with every public hospital in Australia that published the same figure for the same period. The page shows a rank only on a current published figure. It never ranks a withheld or unreported figure. It also never ranks a figure from an earlier period.

How waits have changed
Each chart shows one figure for each year the source published it. A year with no published figure is a gap in the line, and the table under the chart gives the reason.
The charts show Australia and Victoria.
