National overview
This section of the report includes performance information for each state and territory. A summary of state and territory performance as per the four key metrics analysed at a national level is shown in Table 1. It represents data from 2023–24 compared to the previous year.
As shown in Table 1, the performance for most states and territories declined in the past reporting period (❌ indicates a fall of more than 1 per cent, ✔️ indicates an improvement of more than 1 per cent). Table 2 compares each jurisdiction to the national average (▲ indicates above average performance, ▼ indicates below average performance).
This year, the Northern Territory failed to provide any performance metrics relating to planned surgery, with members raising concerns about the uptake of a new data management system in the Territory.
