Ambulance Service

When to call for an ambulance

In urgent medical situations it is important that you call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance, do not panic or drive to hospital yourself. People driving themselves to hospital have often been in accidents risking further injury to themselves and others.

Paramedics are highly trained health professionals. They bring modern emergency and resuscitation equipment to the patient and commence lifesaving treatment at the scene as well as continuing this on the way to hospital.
