Patients in Canberra's emergency departments are waiting more than double the national average to be seen as the ACT has continued to have the longest wait times of any state or territory.
The median wait time in the territory's emergency departments in 2021-22 was 47 minutes while the national average was only 20 minutes.
Wait times were also significantly higher than NSW where the median wait time was 14 minutes, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's latest report has shown.
