The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) is an integral part of the primary healthcare sector in Queensland through the delivery of timely, patient-focussed ambulance services.

The QAS operates as a statewide service within Queensland Health, and is accountable for the delivery of pre-hospital ambulance response services, emergency and non-emergency pre-hospital patient care and transport services, inter-facility ambulance transport, casualty room services, and planning and coordination of multi-casualty incidents and disasters.

The QAS delivers ambulance services from 302 response locations.

The QAS is operationally organised into North Queensland and South Queensland which includes eight geographical regions that consist of 17 districts. These districts are aligned to the State’s Hospital and Health Services (HHSs). Within this organisational structure, eight Operations Centres (OpCens) (including the South East Queensland Patient Transport Service OpCen) are responsible for emergency call taking, operational deployment and dispatch, and coordination of non-urgent patient transport services.

In addition, the QAS works in partnership with approximately 150 Local Ambulance Committees (LACs) across the state, whose members volunteer their time to support their local ambulance service.

Since the establishment of the City Ambulance Transport Brigade (CATB) on 12 September 1892, the original intent has prevailed through time and that is providing care and support to the sick and injured in the Queensland community.

By 1902 Queensland had transitioned from a colony to a state and the ambulance brigade had spread to a number of Queensland communities to become the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade (QATB).  Each local centre was administered by a QATB committee in conjunction with the State Council.  On 1 July 1991, the QATB was transformed into a state-administered service to become the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) as we know it today.
