Ambulance Victoria - Boort Branch

The ambulance service to Boort community and surrounding district is supported by local community members known as Ambulance Community Officers on behalf of Ambulance Victoria.

Ambulance Community Officers (ACOs) support Ambulance Victoria to respond to emergencies in rural and remote Victoria such as Boort, working alongside paramedics to deliver exceptional patient care.

Ambulance Community Officers are dispatched to “000” calls in their communities to provide life saving interventions and medical care to patients. They attend traffic accidents, respiratory and cardiac cases and other incidents requiring emergency care.

If you require an Emergency Ambulance - always dial 000.
