Ambulance Tasmania has over 900 staff including highly trained salaried paramedics, ambulance officers and students in training as well as 600 volunteer ambulance officers. Collectively these officers work closely with public and private hospitals and health facilities providers, intrastate and interstate organisations. We also work closely with allied emergency services, such as Tasmania Police,
the State Emergency Service and the Tasmanian Fire Service. Ambulance Tasmania also contracts the Royal Flying Doctor Service to provide aircraft and pilots for our fixed wing air ambulance operational response and has an association with Tasmania Police for rotary wing movements both intra and interstate.
