  3. Our Stakeholders and Partners
    Create a better connected referral system, to continue to tailor our care in partnership with our communities and establish shared data to enable early access to patient information.
  4. Our Resources

The following Frameworks identify the governance principles and practices that drive and support NSW Ambulance operations.

Year in Review

The Year in Review provides an update on our recent accomplishments and challenges and our progress towards achieving our strategic priorities.

OUT-OF-HOSPITAL Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is a recognised public health problem worldwide and survival rates from ambulance-attended OHCA are generally low.

There is a great deal of variation in survival rates from OHCA between, and within, countries. Measuring and reporting on OHCA survival rates is an indicator of the quality of clinical care provided by ambulance services. NSW Ambulance developed its Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry as a clinical quality initiative. The Registry contains cases attended by NSW Ambulance clinicians starting from 1 January 2017.

The 2021 report is available for download.
