Moncton has 2 emergency departments — 2 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 2 of 2 currently have live wait time data.
Wait time data for Moncton is sourced from NB Health and updates as frequently as every 5 minutes. ERstat displays the estimated time from triage registration to being seen by a physician. Note: New Brunswick publishes total visit length rather than time-to-physician, so displayed times are not directly comparable to other provinces.
All emergency departments in Moncton use the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to prioritize patients. Patients with more serious conditions are always seen first, regardless of arrival time or displayed wait. A shorter posted wait does not guarantee a shorter visit — it depends on the severity of your condition relative to other patients in the department.
Check wait times on this page before leaving. ERstat updates every 5 minutes and shows all Moncton ERs sorted from shortest to longest wait. Each hospital page includes a 12-hour forecast chart and a “Best Time to Visit” pattern based on historical data.
If your condition is not life-threatening, consider whether a walk-in clinic, urgent care centre, or pharmacist could help instead. New Brunswick pharmacists can assess and prescribe for many common conditions with no appointment needed. See what your pharmacist can treat →
