The 2008 State Government budget represented a landmark in the delivery of ambulance care to Victorians.
The announcement, made on 21 April, contained $185.7m in statewide funding. The funding included a new ambulance helicopter for south west Victoria, a dedicated retrieval helicopter to bring critically ill or injured adults, children or babies from regional hospitals to specialist care in Melbourne as well as funding for 260 new paramedics and the introduction of more than 20 new ambulance teams.
While our paramedics commitment to patient care has not changed, most other aspects of the Ambulance Victoria have undertaken massive progression since we started caring for the people of Melbourne in 1899.
