Elective Surgery — Specialty Pressure
A Power BI dashboard comparing NSW elective surgery pressure by specialty. It looks at waiting lists, overdue rates, on-time rates and backlog pressure.
I am a finance and reporting professional building my career in health, government and non-profit reporting. I use Excel, Power BI and SQL to create clear reports, check data, and explain the main findings in simple language.
Hi, I'm Arina Rud — most people call me Arisha. I am a finance and reporting professional based in Sydney.
I worked for more than 15 years in finance and reporting in Moscow, including in film production. My work included financial reports, payment schedules, expense reports, management reports and documentation for senior leaders and investors.
After moving to Australia, I decided to build my skills in data analysis and reporting. I am studying Excel, Power BI, SQL, basic statistics and Python. I am also creating portfolio projects using public NSW health data — skills that apply just as well to government and non-profit reporting.
My goal is to work in a reporting analyst, data reporting, business support or project support role in a health, government or non-profit organisation. I want to help teams make better decisions from accurate and well-organised data.
Each project shows the question, data source, analysis steps, main findings and next questions.

I'm actively looking for reporting analyst, data reporting, data quality, business support and project support roles in health, government, non-profit and other data-driven organisations. If you're a recruiter or hiring manager, I'd love to chat about how my finance reporting background and portfolio projects align with what your team needs.

Project question: Which elective surgery specialties show the highest waiting list, overdue and backlog pressure?
Project question: How did NSW ED performance change during 2025, and how did metro and regional results compare?
Key takeaway: Regional LHDs stayed higher than metro LHDs, but both groups fell by Jul-Sep 2025.
Key takeaway: Sydney, South Eastern Sydney and Central Coast had the largest drops in 4-hour discharge.
Key takeaway: Many regional LHDs started from a stronger position, but almost every LHD or network shown declined by Jul-Sep 2025.
Key takeaway: Emergency and urgent presentations make up a larger share over time. This may help explain pressure on ED performance, but it does not prove the cause.
