Ambulance Cover in AustraliaThe cost of getting an ambulance can be quite substantial, so it is very important to have insurance cover where required. NSW for example, quote between a minimum of $237 (the basic call out fee) up to a maximum of $4,938. In Tasmania insurance is not required, for Tasmanian Residents, whilst in Tasmania. However, if they require an ambulance on the mainland, I get the feeling that they may have to pay, unless they take out insurance prior to the event.
