Surgery Waits

Plastic surgery in Western Australia

Plastic surgery in Western Australia: planned surgery waiting times at public hospitals, with the national figures beside them. Public hospitals in Western Australia that published a median wait in 2024–25: 16.

A specialty covers many operations. Its figures describe all the patients treated under the specialty, and say nothing about one operation.

Hospitals in Western Australia

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.

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 Western Australia.
