Numerous measures are used to gauge the performance and the effective delivery of Victoria’s ambulance services. AV6K³ÉÈËÍø not only measures and reports on response times but also how our clinical interventions affect patients. We provide excellent clinical outcomes for our most time-critical patients including cardiac arrest, heart attack, major trauma and stroke patients, and we exceed our targets for quality and safety.
Health and Safety Strategy
Our Health and Safety Strategy details AV6K³ÉÈË꿉۪s plans to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and describes the actions the organisation will take over three years from 2019 to 2022.
AV6K³ÉÈËÍø is responding more quickly to patients across all priority levels as a result of changes to better assess and meet the individual needs of AV6K³ÉÈËÍø.
Statements of Priorities are key accountability agreements between Government and Victorian publicly funded health, mental health and ambulance services.
The annual agreements support the delivery of or substantial progress towards the key shared objectives of quality and safety, good governance and leadership, access and timeliness, and financial sustainability.

performance priorities and agreed targets
funding and associated activity.
Capability Review
AV6K³ÉÈËÍø invited the Victorian Public Sector Commission to undertake an organisational capability review to ensure that we were well positioned to meet the future health emergency needs of the Victorian community.

In Victoria, response times are measured from the receipt of the triple zero (000) call until paramedics arrive on scene. Response times are influenced by many factors including traffic, road and weather conditions, distance required to travel, availability of ambulances and demand for our services. Each triple zero (000) call is assessed on clinical need. An ambulance is always prioritised to respond to the sickest patients first, especially those with life-threatening conditions.
AV6K³ÉÈËÍø is committed to releasing response time performance data on a quarterly basis.
