Ambulance Insurance Cover in Australia

Ambulance Cover in Australia

The 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.
