Review
of the Ambulances Services Act 1986
April 1999, Final Report
Information
Ambulance
services are a major Government priority.
Ambulance services are pivotal to the delivery of the State's health
services and its emergency response capability, and the Victorian
community expects that it will continue to receive high quality
ambulance services. Many people in the ambulance services industry
are aware that the Ambulance Services Act 1986 is currently under
review, involving an independent review of restrictions on competition
contained in the legislation, as required under National Competition
Policy (NCP).
The Allen Consulting Group was engaged by the Department of Human
Services to conduct the independent NCP review. It is one of many
such legislative reviews being conducted in line with NCP requirements
agreed by all Australian governments in 1995.
The Allen Consulting Group has now provided its report.
