If you have received an invoice from NSW Ambulance and are having difficulty paying or dispute the charge, you can apply to have a fee review.

The review may result in the fee being waived in full or in part, or may result in alternative payment arrangements being put in place, such as an installment plan arrangement or an extension of time to pay. This information sheet provides some additional details on how to apply for a fee review.

Health Services Amendment (Ambulance Fees) Act 2014

The Health Services Amendment (Ambulance Fees) Act 2014 came into effect on 1 June 2015. The Act confirms the exemptions that are in place for pensioners and concession card holders and provides a mechanism for fee reviews for people having difficulty paying their ambulance bills.  The legislation also introduces powers for the Commissioner of Fines Administration to take action to recover unpaid debts on behalf of NSW Ambulance. This fact sheet provides an overview of the exemptions that apply for ambulance fees and the processes in place to recover unpaid fees from patients who are not exempt and who fail to pay when invoiced for NSW Ambulance services.
