Non-emergency operations

SA Ambulance Service non-emergency operations include Emergency Support Services and Patient Transport Services.

Emergency Support Services respond to non-emergency patients in the community, provide support to SAAS emergency ambulance crews and also include specialised workgroups who provide services for bariatric patients and some mental health patients.

Patient Transport Services manage the response and transport of elective, non-emergency, and low acuity patients including inter-hospital transfers and post-discharge transport where ambulance transport is clinically necessary.
