(1) The median time to trial for criminal matters in the Supreme Court of Western Australia in October 2014 was 29 weeks.
It is not possible to advise median time to trial for other Australian Supreme Court jurisdictions. This is because the information is not readily publicly available due to individual courts using different counting rules. Consequently, as there is no consistent approach to defining and measuring 'time to trial' it would be inappropriate to compare jurisdictions.
