Ambulance Victoria is the statutory authority responsible for providing emergency medical services and pre-hospital care throughout the state of Victoria, Australia. Formed in 2008 through the consolidation of regional and metropolitan ambulance services, it operates as a unified provider under the state's Department of Health. The organization manages a diverse fleet including road ambulances, rapid response vehicles, and an extensive aeromedical division comprising helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
