NSW Ambulance staff are trained to help you.
Our Special Operations Team (SOT) recently participated in 4-wheel drive training in Cronulla. Driving in this challenging terrain ensures our paramedics are ready to respond to any situation, in physical environments across NSW.
Our Special Operations Team is trained in a variety of skills including vertical access (abseil rescues), using breathing apparatus including fully encapsulated gas suits, working in confined spaces, bushcraft in remote areas, swift water, helicopter and working with multi-agency partnerships.
The Special Operations Team also provides clinical support to our colleagues in the NSW Rural Fire Service, Fire & Rescue NSW and NSW Police, including bomb disposal and the Public Order Riot Squad.
Special Operations Teams are also deployed to multi-casualty incidents and disasters, where they provide life-saving medical intervention and support for patients who are trapped, in a precarious situation, or have been located after extensive searches after being reported missing.
