Ambulance Australia Season 1

Follow Sydney Ambulance workers from the call takers to the paramedics on the scene. Tonight paramedics rush to help a pregnant woman who has gone into labour after a car accident.

A woman falls off a 15-meter cliff. A rookie paramedic faces a confronting case. A catastrophic crash threatens the life of a beloved husband. A young son is trapped seizing in a bathroom.

A shortage in ambulances. Long wait times for patients heading to Liverpool Hospital. A horrific motor vehicle accident. Brain injury. A house fire. Suspected domestic violence. All this in the day-in-the-life of a paramedic.

A call taker tries to revive a hanging patient over the phone when the family's given up. A heart attack turns into a race against the clock. A gruesome double stabbing pushes the limits of the team.

It is not an ordinary Sunday for NSW Ambulance, as eighty thousand people hit the streets in Sydney's annual City2Surf. Paramedics drive through the crowds to locate someone in trouble. A deadly drug overdose and a drunk and enraged ice addict - all this in a day in the life of a paramedic.

In this episode we see the highest possible medical intervention, while a legally blind patient with PTSD vents his frustration for the lack of hours for home care aid, while a spike in GHB and cocaine overdose cases sends late-night crew into action during a blood moon Friday night.

Crews are called to a motorcycle accident in peak hour traffic, and paramedics must solve the cause of an elderly woman's excruciating pain. Call taker Laura celebrates her last shift in the control centre before leaving to become a paramedic, while a devastating car crash on the far outskirts of Sydney throws crews into overdrive as they face the tyranny of distance.

Former call-taker Laura goes out on her very first shift on the road as a paramedic. Her first call-out sees her attend a man suffering chest pains at Sydney's busy airport, while veteran paramedic Carolyn faces a life or death situation when a 90 year old woman suffers a heart attack. On a construction site, Duty Operations Manager Brian needs to rescue a worker who's fallen from a height. But getting him out of the building site into the ambulance proves to be extremely tricky.
