## What is not here

Public hospitals only. Private hospitals do not report to this collection, so their waiting times cannot be compared here.

Waiting times differ across state borders, and a referral can cross one — [read what that means](https://surgerywaits.au/guides/referral-to-another-hospital/). Compare with [every other state](https://surgerywaits.au/surgery/repair-of-obstructing-hiatus-hernia/), or see [every surgery reported in Australian Capital Territory](https://surgerywaits.au/state/act/).

Surgery Waits is not medical advice. It republishes official statistics about waiting times that have already happened, and it does not recommend any hospital, doctor or treatment. Your general practitioner (GP) and your treating specialist are the right people to help you decide what is appropriate for you.
