Paramedics move into new Euroa branch
April 14, 2025in Community News
The new, multi-million-dollar Euroa Ambulance Victoria (AV) branch is now open, providing crews with updated facilities.
Last week AV Interim Chief Executive Officer Andrew Crisp joined the Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes MP to officially open the state-of-the-art branch.
Paramedics moved into the building last month, which is home to eight Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics and an Ambulance Community Officer (ACO).

Located on Weir Street, the branch features a three-bay garage, two rest and recline areas, longer term accommodation facilities, training areas, a fully equipped kitchen and improved security and car parking.
Mr Crisp said the opening was an exciting milestone for the community and local crews.
“This branch has cutting edge facilities that help our paramedics do their job and respond to life-threatening cases in the community,” he said.
“The former branch – built 60 years ago – served the team and community well but wasn’t big enough to accommodate the number of staff now based at Euroa.
“This new building provides crews with the space needed to continue their training requirements, while also being conveniently adjacent to Euroa Health and other local emergency services.”
Within the last three years, the Euroa branch has evolved to a dual paramedic crew supported by a team of ACOs.
The Euroa team responds to communities including Violet Town, Avenel, Longwood and Nagambie, and can be extended to surrounding towns such as Seymour and Benalla.

The branch was funded by the Victorian Government’s Ambulance Victoria Development Program and delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA) in partnership with Ambulance Victoria (AV), and builder Crow Constructions.
It’s one of more than 45 new or upgraded ambulance branches since 2015, with others in the Hume region located at Tatura, Euroa, Murchison and Broadford.
