Ambulance Call Out Procedure

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW /THINGS TO DO IF YOU ARE RINGING FOR AN AMBULANCE.

RING 000

  1. You need to give your name and contact number.
  2. You need to give the location of the casualty/accident (location needs to include the road number, road, nearest cross street, town/area and nearest ambulance centre, i.e. Chapman Valley Ambulance Sub-centre)
  3. Number of casualties and type of injuries/problems
  4. Follow the prompts and answer additional information as asked by the operator

If you live on a farm then additional information will help (farm name, name of the owner of the property or name of who lives at the property, approximately how many km's the farm is from the main road) and if possible it will also help if someone is available to go to the main road to guide the ambulance into the property, especially at night.

Remember: The operators are based in Perth so additional information may be required to assist them in locating the nearest sub centre and getting you the help you need as soon as possible.

Defibrillator

To access, when people ring 000 and if the call is cardiac in origin they will be given the code so people can open the box to retrieve the Defibrillator.
