Here for our communities 24/7,365 days a year
Wellington Free Ambulance is the only emergency ambulance service in Greater Wellington and the Wairarapa. Our services are uniquely free of charge, a founding value since 1927 that we're fiercely proud of.
Featuring our latest stats and heartfelt stories from some of our incredible team, this video highlights the moments that make us proud to be here for our communities.
As well as running a 24/7 emergency ambulance service that covers an area from Cook Strait in the south to just north of Waikanae around Peka Peka on the Kāpiti Coast, we operate a clinical communications centre – the reassuring voices at the end of your 111 call.
We also offer a patient transfer service, event medical services, and free community CPR training, including how to use an AED, through The Lloyd Morrison Foundation Heartbeat programme.
In the past year alone, we’ve answered over 236,000 calls for help and attended over 55,000 emergency incidents.
Although we receive some government funding, every year we must fundraise over $8.5 million from our community to keep our service free of charge. We’re fortunate to have an incredibly supportive community of individuals and organisations who help us keep the free in Wellington Free Ambulance.
