The cost of an ambulance in each state

Medicare doesn't cover the cost of emergency transport or ambulance services to hospital. As a result, ambulance costs are different in each state and territory, with a few exemptions and exceptions.

For example, QLD and TAS residents, and pension and health care card holders may be covered for ambulance services by State ambulance schemes.

To view the ambulance costs in your state or territory, head to our guide that outlines how much you can expect to pay in each state and territory across Australia and the benefits of having ambulance cover.

*Not available to: (i) QLD residents who have ambulance services provided by their State ambulance schemes; (ii) TAS residents who are covered under state ambulance schemes in TAS and when travelling in mainland Australia except SA or QLD; or (iii) pensioner, concession or health care card holders who have ambulance services provided by State ambulance schemes (check entitlements with Centrelink if unsure).

Benefits for ambulance transportation is only payable where the provider describes the transportation as an ‘Emergency’.
