New ambulance station opens in Woodville

Our new Woodville ambulance station was officially opened in mid-July 2024, providing residents in Adelaide’s western suburbs with better access to emergency health care.

The new Woodville station is home to 16 paramedics and the base for our Western Paramedic Intern Development Team.

Ten paramedic interns will operate from Woodville while they are completing their internships, before they are deployed across the state later in the year.

Comments from SAAS Chief Executive Officer, Rob Elliott

Delivering the Woodville station required a concerted effort from SAAS and our partners. I am extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve in such a short period of time and the collective commitment to improving the facilities here in the western suburbs for our service.

The strategic location of Woodville station has been planned to enhance response times to surrounding areas and better serve the community in the western suburbs and beyond.

Woodville Ambulance Station will serve as a hub for training our graduate paramedic interns and ensuring they are well-prepared to handle any situation they encounter.
