There is no other city in the world like Wellington - it is truly unique. It’s also the only capital city in the Southern Hemisphere to provide a free emergency ambulance service.

Wellington Free Ambulance is a 24/7 life-saving service free to everyone who lives, works or simply visits our great Wellington region. But we need your help to keep it that way.

Every day we respond to over 130 calls for help. Whether it’s a heart attack victim, a woman in labour, a car accident, or a sick child - if it’s an emergency we’re ready to help at no cost to the patient. As you can imagine, this doesn’t come cheap.

Donations and bequests can ensure that the people of greater Wellington continue to have the best possible emergency healthcare, at no charge. These gifts are used to ensure our staff have the training you deserve, and that our lifesaving equipment and vehicles are up to date and effective.
