Common questions

How long is the public waiting list for orchidopexy in Australia?

Half of patients admitted from public hospital waiting lists for orchidopexy waited 78 days or less (national median, 2024-07-01 to 2025-06-30). By state it ranged from 69 days (WA) to 106 days (SA).

Can I avoid the wait?

As a private patient you choose your surgeon and usually wait less, but you pay fees, partly covered by Medicare and any private health insurance. Private hospitals don't publish waiting times.
