Completed in late 2022, the new Moe Ambulance Branch features a five-bay garage and four rest and recline areas, while the new Warragul West Ambulance Branch has a four-bay garage and four rest and recline areas.

Ambulance Victoria Development Program

The Victorian Government has committed around $249 million since 2015 to upgrade and rebuild ambulance branches.

The new and upgraded buildings will provide better working conditions for paramedics and ensure lifesaving emergency care is available for all Victorians.
