This program has now concluded.
Tips for calling an ambulance:
- In an emergency, remember to stop, think, and stay safe. Call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency and ask for an ambulance.
- Know the address or the name of where you are. If you don't know the address, tell the Triple Zero (000) operator the name of a nearby landmark (such as a shop, building, school, university, train station, etc).
- Stay calm and talk slowly to the Triple Zero (000) operator when answering their questions. Do you best to answer their questions so that they can dispatch an ambulance to the right place.
- Paramedics are trusted people who help in a health emergency. Paramedics drive ambulances. Typically, two paramedics will attend your Triple Zero (000) call.
- If it's dark, make sure to turn lights on and clear pathways if it's safe to do so. This helps paramedics get to the person in need faster and safely.
