Wellington Free Ambulance is the only emergency ambulance service for Greater Wellington and Wairarapa - and the only one in the country that's free!

For almost 100 years, we're so proud to be here for our Greater Wellington and Wairarapa communities 24/7, free of charge.

Our services include:

- Emergency ambulance services (also known as lights and sirens).

- A clinical communications centre (the reassuring voices at the end of your 111 call).

- A patient transfer service that transports patients to and from scheduled healthcare appointments.

- Event medical support to a huge range of community, sporting and festival events.

- Free community CPR training (including how to use an AED) thanks to The Lloyd Morrison Foundation Heartbeat programme.

- The sale, installation and maintenance of AEDs for private and community use.

We also have specially trained crews including our highly trained rescue squad, and our Urgent Community Care Team responding to those in need in the community.

Although we receive most of our funding from government, each year we must fundraise around $8 million to keep our services free of charge.

All donations are used to fund essential items like emergency ambulances, equipment like stretchers and defibrillators, and meet the gap between the cost of running our service and government funding.
