About Our Volunteer Program

In rural and remote communities, most Volunteer Ambulance Officers work "on call" and are able to continue with everyday activities at home or at work ... as long as they can respond immediately when paged for a medical emergency.

In larger towns, volunteers work with paramedics and must remain at the local ambulance station while on duty.

The work is challenging, and some volunteers stay with us for a year or two, while others work with us for 20 years or more.

Regardless of how long you can help out for, every volunteer is a vital part of Ambulance Tasmania, giving valuable support to the service and their community.

Challenging work. No pay. Total respect.

Ambulance Tasmania is always looking for committed, caring people join our team of Volunteer Ambulance Officers, especially in rural communities. No experience is necessary – just a passion to help and a willingness to learn.
