Distances are straight-line, measured between hospital locations, and are approximate. The search covered 500 km — the radius was widened because fewer than four hospitals published a figure within 250 km.

Some of these hospitals are in another state. Public hospital referrals can cross state borders. Ask your general practitioner (GP) what that would mean for you — see can my GP refer me to a different hospital?
