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.


In Qld the state covers ambulance call outs so people don’t pay a cent. The other states could do it too if they wanted.
Ambo callouts are free in Tassie too.
