[edit] Ambulance services

Ambulance services in Australia are similar to services offered in other western countries, except they don't come free, unless as an individual you have ambulance cover or medical insurance that covers ambulance. A typical 20km ambulance trip can cost over $800.

Ambulance cover is advised by all residents of Australia, as a minimum, or as part of a health insurance package.
