The Sydney Ambulance Metropolitan Infrastructure Strategy (SAMIS) program is reshaping NSW Ambulance’s operations in metropolitan Sydney, transforming the majority of the existing 43 ambulance stations into a network of superstations, supported by smaller, standby stations called paramedic response points.
OVERVIEW
Health Infrastructure is delivering 11 ambulance superstations, one traditional station and seven paramedic response points as part of the SAMIS program to give NSW Ambulance paramedics the facilities they need to deliver exceptional emergency patient care and meet the future needs of the Sydney metropolitan area.
This new operational model, called the Paramedic Response Network, is designed to ensure NSW Ambulance’s highly-trained paramedics deliver the right care to the right patient in the right way at the right time, every time.
The NSW Government is investing $184 million in the Sydney Ambulance Metropolitan Infrastructure Strategy.
BENEFITS
The program will:
- Deliver NSW Ambulance superstations, which will be supported by a network of existing NSW Ambulance stations
- Deliver new smaller, standby stations called paramedic response points (PRPs), which will also support the superstations
- Help improve community access to emergency healthcare across the Sydney metropolitan region
- Ensure NSW Ambulance resources are effectively located so they can better serve local communities
