For a medical Emergency
Dial 000 and for an ambulance
Check your OSHC policy when you receive it to understand your
ambulance cover, should you need it in a medical emergency. If you hold OSHC with Allianz, Medibank Private or Bupa you will not be charged a fee for the doctor home visit.
Safety Emergencies
Although we hope the situation never arises, if you need to call an emergency service, the number to call is 000. The operator will then ask whether you want an ambulance, the fire brigade or the police and why you want this assistance. You will also be asked for your name and address and telephone number.
