FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

How much does an ambulance cost without insurance?

Medicare doesn't cover the cost of emergency transport and other ambulance services. 

Depending on where you live, without ambulance cover you may need pay over $1,000 for an ambulance in an emergency situation.^*

Depending on your state or territory of residence, you’ll need to take out ambulance cover to help cover the cost of ambulance transport.

If you are a resident of Queensland and Tasmania, ambulance services may be covered through your state’s own subsidised ambulance scheme.
