FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

How much does a non-urgent ambulance cost without insurance?

The cost depends on where you live in Australia. In the Perth metro area, for most people, a non-urgent ambulance by road will cost $609 (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 to ambulance cover arrangements.

Medicare does not cover non-urgent ambulance services, so without the right type of ambulance insurance, in most situations you will cover the full cost out of your own pocket. With Ambulance Care, the cost of any non-urgent ambulance services, as well as transfers, will be fully covered.
