Sa Ambulance Service

It is our mission to provide the highest levels of ambulance care. Aided by sophisticated communication and despatch systems we successfully respond to over 200 000 incidents. With a dedicated team of full-time career and volunteer staff, SAAS operates throughout the state of South Australia: an area more than seven and a half times the size of England. When you call 000 in an emergency, SAAS will be there in minutes. Our paramedics are qualified to deal not only with everyday call-outs but also to respond to large-scale emergencies. Which makes SAAS a very important part of South Australia's emergency services, along with SA Police, SA Metropolitan Fire Service, State Emergency Service and Country Fire Service. SAAS is responsible for its ambulance fleet of 300 vehicles, ambulance equipment and, of course, education of all its personnel.
