New Norwood ambulance station opens

Our new Norwood Ambulance Station commenced operations at the end of July 2024, ensuring a more efficient and timely emergency ambulance response for residents in the inner-eastern suburbs.

This state-of-the-art facility, strategically located at the corner of Portrush and Magill Roads, addresses a critical coverage gap in the city fringe suburbs.

Norwood Ambulance Station is the home station for 16 paramedics and 12 Emergency Support Service ambulance officers who commenced in July 2022 and have responded to over 13,800 incidents in their first year while working from a temporary base at Stepney.

The new Norwood station includes facilities to garage five ambulances and two light fleet vehicles, with a carport for an additional eight light fleet vehicles.

Designed with future growth in mind, the station also features training spaces and leadership offices that will serve as a hub for ongoing skills development for metro-east paramedics.
