Donations

Ambulance Victoria is funded through a combination of membership fees, patient transport fees, donations and government funding. Your donation will help increase AV’s ability to provide specialised equipment, resources and additional paramedic training so we can continue to provide the Victorian community with the best pre-hospital emergency treatment.

You may choose to make a one-off donation or set up a recurring gift to support the work of Ambulance Victoria.

When you donate, you can nominate your donation to support Ambulance Victoria’s general donation fund or a specific Ambulance Branch, Auxiliary, Region or Department.

Donations to Ambulance Victoria of $2 and greater are tax deductible so please include your full name and return address for an official tax receipt.

Thank you for your contribution. Your generosity will ensure that the best possible care and treatment will be available to your loved ones when they need it most.
