AMBULANCES SERVICES
Ambulance Services operate 24 hours a day
at every major ski resort. The service works in close co-operation with the Ski Patrol and medical centres.

Given that most resorts are some distance from major centres of population, the costs of ambulance transports can be expensive.
One ride in an ambulance could cost you more than $1000!

Even a small Ski Patrol evacuation for a minor injury is likely to require an ambulance - most resorts do not allow patients to be walked
to medical centres by patrols, so ambulance
use is frequent.

There is of course a way of enjoying your stay
in the snow without having to be concerned about such costs. Simply by becoming an ambulance subscriber you are immediately covered for accidental injury or sudden illness.
   (A two month waiting period applies to existing medical conditions).
When you're an ambulance subscriber you get free transport and attention anywhere in Australia. That includes regular and
emergency ambulance transport, as well
as the specialist ambulances.

Alcohol & Drugs are fuel for disaster in the snow, they impair your judgement and your ability. Your reaction times are significantly reduced and increase the risk of injury. The whole alpine experience begins when you leave home and doesn’t finish until you return. Avoid alcohol consumption and the use of illegal substances, because they increase your risk of hypothermia.

Alcohol & Drugs impair judgement, slow response time and reduce your ability to respond to an emergency.
