Because of you...

Wellington Free Ambulance is the only emergency ambulance service for Greater Wellington and
Wairarapa, and the only ambulance service in Aotearoa New Zealand that’s free.

Thanks to Government funding and the ongoing generosity of our community, our service remains uniquely free to anyone who needs us 24/7, 365 days a year. But we can only maintain a free service because of people like you: our community.

Tēnā koutou and thank you to everyone who has supported us this year, from individuals and schools through to workplaces, businesses, and communities. Whether you donned a Onesie, held a fundraiser, remembered us in your Will, read our newsletter or liked a social media post, your actions have had an impact.

Read Nice One! 2023 to see the impact you've had and the difference you've made.
