Ambulance Victoria is calling on the community to support our paramedics to continue doing their lifesaving work this festive season.
As the holiday period approaches, many Victorians will be out celebrating, but for our paramedics and first responders it's one of the busiest and toughest times.
For paramedics to provide treatment to you or your loved one, they need a safe environment to work in that is free from aggression or abuse.
What you can do to help paramedics:
- Be respectful towards everyone involved in an incident.
- Put your safety first – if there is violence or aggression present at a scene, stay well back and don't do anything to aggravate or worsen the situation.
- Advise the Triple Zero (000) call taker if violence or aggression is present. They can arrange for police to attend.
