Adjournment

Lizzie BLANDTHORN (Western Metropolitan – Minister for Children, Minister for Disability) (17:54): I move:

That the house do now adjourn.

Ambulance services

Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (17:54): (1786) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Ambulance Services, Mary-Anne Thomas, and the action I seek is an update on how the Allan Labor government is strengthening paramedic coverage in rural and regional communities. This month 59 new paramedics will join Ambulance Victoria, including in placements in regional communities. These new graduates will work alongside experienced crews, delivering urgent care and building their clinical skills, while supporting local health outcomes. I look forward to the minister’s update on how this boost will continue to support the delivery of ambulance services across the state.
