* The minimum number of paramedics required to attend any event is two.
** Vehicles costs are calculated on the basis of the return journey from the closest ambulance station to the event and includes kilometres travelled during the course of the event.

Notes

A cancellation fee of four hours per paramedic at the hourly rate will apply if the event is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Extensions beyond the agreed time will attract an additional charge at the same rate based on 30 minute increments.

The charges cover first aid treatment at the event. The charges do not cover any patient that requires transport from the event. Should this occur the individual patient will be charged for the transport separately.

Generally, in the event that a patient transport is required from the event another ambulance resource will be called. However, in an emergency situation the ambulance at the event will transport the patient and another ambulance will be sent to cover the event. A reduction of fees will be made for the period of no coverage.

We reserve the right to terminate and/or withdraw from an attendance at any time. If a major incident occurs that exhausts our resources we may withdraw attendance at an event without notice until other resources become available. Should this occur an appropriate reduction in charges will apply.

Concessions

Ambulance may consider awarding concessions to sporting and event organisers on an individual basis. Sporting and event organisers may write to Ambulance at least 21 days prior to the event requesting a concession. Applications should be addressed to:

General Manager Operations
Ambulance Service of NSW
Locked Bag 105
Rozelle NSW 2039

Outstanding fees

Any organisation who has defaulted on previous invoices or accounts must settle this outstanding accounts and pay in advance for subsequent events.
