FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

How much does an urgent ambulance cost without insurance?

The cost depends on where you live in Australia. In the Perth metro area, an urgent ambulance by road will cost $1,133 (as at Aug 2024) but this isn't the story in all states.

Some states fully subsidise the cost of ambulance services for everyone, while other states only cover holders of specific concession cards. To find out how it works in your state, check out the government's guide.

It's important to remember that Medicare does not cover urgent ambulance and other emergency transport, so without the right type of ambulance insurance, in most situations you will need to cover the full cost out of your own pocket.

HBF Urgent Ambulance insurance covers the cost of any emergency or urgent ambulance transport by road.
