During these challenging economic times, we deeply appreciate the generosity and commitment of our donors and volunteers. Your support directly enhances AV's ability to provide exceptional emergency care, expand community health programs, and invest in groundbreaking medical research.

Additionally, AV’s 40+ auxiliaries play a pivotal role in fundraising, community education, and health awareness programs across Victoria. These dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to raise funds that directly contribute to lifesaving initiatives, making an incredible impact in their local communities.

Their ongoing efforts enable us to provide additional specialised equipment and resources beyond government funding, ensuring that every Victorian has access to the best emergency care possible.

Together, we are committed to improving the health outcomes and strengthening emergency healthcare services for every Victorian.

Your support empowers us to save lives, innovate, and make a lasting difference.

From the entire team at Ambulance Victoria, thank you.
