Health Infrastructure has delivered a new ambulance station at Fairy Meadow to provide a high-quality base for our local paramedics, tailored to the emergency care needs of the region.
OVERVIEW
Fairy Meadow Ambulance Station is part of Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program.
The RAIR program is the single largest investment in regional NSW Ambulance’s almost 130-year history, with 54 new, rebuilt or upgraded ambulance stations being delivered in rural and regional NSW, to support the delivery of enhanced out-of-hospital emergency medical care to the community.
The NSW Government is investing $232 million to deliver the Rural Ambulance Reconfiguration (RAIR) Stages 1 and 2 programs.
BENEFITS
The project will:
- Optimise paramedic response times and support critical lifesaving care
- Provide a better working environment for local paramedics
- Better meet the current and future demand for emergency medical care in Wollongong.
SCOPE
Fairy Meadow’s first station features internal parking for up to five emergency ambulance vehicles and a wash bay, administration and office areas, staff rest facilities, logistics and storage spaces.
