New ambulance branches in Ararat, Inglewood, Karingal and Rochester are on the way
We’ve appointed builders to construct new ambulance branches in Inglewood, Karingal and Rochester. A builder has also been appointed to upgrade the Ararat ambulance branch.
This means paramedics will have the facilities and support they need to quickly respond to local emergencies.
