Ambulance Cover in Queensland

At the present time there is no agreement between NSW and Queensland to provide ambulance cover for NSW students on excursions in Queensland. Parents are advised to check their private health cover to determine if it provides this specific cover. If this is not provided, parents may wish to arrange it for the duration of the excursion, if there is no ambulance cover and your child needs an ambulance on the day in Queensland the full cost of transport will be charged.
