Depending on the type of treatment or transport needed when you call Triple Zero (000) there may be a cost for the service provided.
The average cost of emergency treatment and transport by ambulance is more than $1000. If a paramedic or ambulance officer attends to you but assess you as being able to stay home or make your own way to a care facility, there is also a charge.
