The Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) operates as a government health service within Queensland Health, based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It provides pre-hospital ambulance response and care, transport services, aero-medical coordination, inter-facility transport, and planning for multi-casualty incidents and disasters across the state. The service operates 15 Local Ambulance Service Networks with hundreds of response locations and seven operations centres, supported by volunteers and first responders, and staffed by paramedics, emergency medical dispatchers, and patient transport officers. It serves the Queensland community as part of the primary health care system, delivering rapid response, on-scene care, and coordination for emergencies and routine transport, and it offers First Aid training courses online. Recent developments include the launch of an online Non-Emergency Patient Transport system in 2025, and ongoing collaborations with partners such as LifeFlight and the RFDS Queensland Section to extend care to more remote areas.
