The Council Of Ambulance Authorities

The Council of Ambulance Authorities (CAA) is a not-for-profit national charity and operates as the peak body for the Australian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea ambulance sectors. The CAA works tirelessly to collaborate on ambulance and pre-hospital issues of metropolitan, regional, national and international significance. We stand alongside ambulance services, healthcare professionals and researchers to build community awareness and foster new thinking in patient centered care by ambulance healthcare services. CAA’s committees, working groups and forums contribute to evidence-based initiatives and projects designed to keep ambulance services at the forefront of paramedicine. National events and representation in international forums build on strategic relationships with government and agencies to help address challenges facing the sector in its pursuit of optimum service delivery. CAA hosts an annual international congress for leaders in the sector, along with national campaigns and forums. CAA is the Australasian Secretariat for the Global Resuscitation Alliance (GRA).
