Mildura ambulance services

Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (09:51): I rise today to send a huge shout-out and thankyou to our Mildura ambos. Our hardworking paramedics have attended 86.8 per cent of code 1 emergency cases within 15 minutes in the Mildura LGA, making them the second best in the state. These figures are for the final quarter of 2023, showing the average response time for a code 1 case locally was 13 minutes and 11 seconds, which is 19 seconds faster than the previous three months, only narrowly outdone by Swan Hill ambos. Given that I have a foot in each camp, with both councils being in the Mildura electorate, I wanted to send a huge shout-out to the top two ambulance services in the state and say a heartfelt thankyou.
