About wait times

They are a guide only. How long you wait depends on how sick you and other people are. We aim to treat you as quickly as we can.

We have information about what to expect at the emergency department at Canberra Hospital.

University of Canberra Hospital does not have an emergency department. If you need emergency care call 000 or go directly to your nearest emergency department at North Canberra Hospital in Bruce or Canberra Hospital in Garran.
