Local paramedics have been handed the keys to Casino’s new ambulance station with construction of the state-of-the-art station now complete.
 
The new station at the Casino Health Campus on Canterbury Street was delivered as part of the NSW Government’s $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration (RAIR) program.  
 
Casino’s new ambulance station will provide local paramedics with a high-quality base and the latest facilities and equipment to meet the current and future emergency care needs of the Northern Rivers.
 
The new station has replaced a 90-year-old facility and will provide a contemporary working environment for local paramedics significantly enhancing mobile emergency health care in the region.
 
The Casino Ambulance Station includes internal parking for up to six emergency ambulance vehicles, staff rest facilities, administration and office areas, logistics and storage areas, an internal wash bay and staff parking.
 
With construction of the station now complete, NSW Ambulance is undertaking operational commissioning activities, which includes testing systems and adding the finishing touches to the internal fit-out, ahead of the station becoming operational.
 
The NSW Government is committed to investing in rural and regional health infrastructure to support better health outcomes for local communities.
 
The $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration program is delivering 54 new or upgraded ambulance stations. It is the single largest investment in regional NSW Ambulance’s 127-year history.
