Waiting times in the emergency department will depend on how sick your child is. Your child will be triaged (assessed and categorised) to be seen within a certain timeframe by doctor.
Waiting times in private consulting rooms or in the hospital out-patient clinics will vary from 1 - 6 months. Generally private consulting room waiting room times are shorter and your General Practitioner can contact the General Paediatrician if your child needs to be seen quickly.
