New Rescue Ambulances and Paramedic Training Boost Emergency Response in Shoalhaven

Eight new purpose-built ambulance rescue vehicles are being constructed to enhance the state's ability to handle complex rescue incidents. These vehicles combine advanced rescue capability with fully equipped ambulance functions. One of these new trucks is expected to arrive in Bomaderry in early 2027, while paramedics are currently undertaking specialized training in Singleton this month.

The new rescue ambulances were designed after consultation with front-line paramedics and rescue specialists. The vehicles are intended to strengthen collaboration between NSW Ambulance and other emergency services when responding to challenging incidents, such as road crashes and natural disasters.
