It was certainly cause for celebration on 30 August, 1973, when the Belconnen Ambulance Station was officially opened. And it opened with some grunt - with a modified Ford Falcon 500 V8 as its first ambulance.

Paramedics were up on the street again this year to help with a serious case of brain freeze

23/12/2025

When John suffered a heart attack earlier this year, his friend’s urgent call to Triple-Zero (000), and the clear information she provided to the call-taker, helped save his life.

Paramedics from the ACT Ambulance Service, and other key personnel, were able to take decisive actions, stabilise John, and transport him to hospital for immediate treatment.

Now recovering well, John asked to meet the paramedics who attended to him on that critical day.

"After waiting an "unacceptable" nine and a half hours for an ambulance, a Mawson man was taken to hospital by NSW paramedics because the ACT's own service reached critical capacity, his partner has said.

The ACT Ambulance Service confirmed it was aware of the complaint and that it would be subject to a comprehensive internal review.

It comes after an agency spokeswoman said ACT ambulance stations were closed almost 70 times between April 2024 and October this year."

The spokeswoman also said Dickson ambulance station was closed between 11pm and 6.30am on December 5 and 6, while three stations were kept open with single officer response units.
