Our 2013 audit of ambulance services made a number of recommendations to improve the management and delivery of WA’s ambulance services. St John Ambulance has recently been awarded a two-year contract extension to deliver ambulance services until June 30, 2020. The Minister for Health has said this will enable the State to develop a contemporary contractual framework which will ensure the future needs of the WA community are met.
The audit objective is to assess if WA Health and SJA have implemented the recommendations from our 2013 audit, and have improved service management and delivery.
Tabling is currently anticipated in the second quarter of 2019.
