2014 School ambulance cover arrangements
2014 School Ambulance Cover Scheme
Since 2012, the Department has negotiated an agreement with the NSW Ambulance Service to commence an annual licensing arrangement for school student ambulance cover for all public schools in NSW. Arrangements for the scheme have now been confirmed for the 2014 school year.
The Ambulance Cover Scheme provides assurance that if a student has an accident or falls ill whilst at school or on an organised school excursion or activity, and requires the ambulance service, the cost will be met through the scheme.
The terms and conditions of the Student Ambulance Group Cover Scheme - Schools are outlined in the NSW Ambulance Group Cover Scheme – Schools: Policy Guidelines.
