I did not know this. The ambulance situation is a shambles and wildly differs from state to state and in what your health insurance provider (if you have one) may not make you aware of. The article includes a comparison of all states’ ambulance services.
It should be covered by medicare, as should essential dental
I’d vote for that but until it is the best bet is ambulance cover in Victoria. Good on Qld for showing us up.
Victoria isn’t difficult to show up, a little embarrassing when qld does it though. I have never been in a qld hospital, hopefully (for their sake) they are cleaner than victorian ones.
