North Coast Region

The North Coast Region covers the coastal area from Bundaberg to the Sunshine Coast and inland to the North and South Burnett.  The Burnett Coast, Hervey Bay and the Sunshine Coast continue to experience rapid population growth.  These areas attract increasing tourist numbers as well as retirees and families relocating to the sub-tropical climate.  The Sunshine Coast population is predicted to grow further to 520,500 by 2026. 

The North Coast Region is serviced by 32 permanent ambulance stations, and an additional station at Rainbow Beach is active during all holiday periods. The Sunshine Coast Helicopter Rescue Service operates rotary wing aerial ambulance services from Bundaberg and the Sunshine Coast.  All rotary wing emergency responses are crewed by paramedics.

Local Ambulance Committees

The Queensland Ambulance Service is a community based, client focused organisation. Since 1991 Local Ambulance Committees (LACs) were formed to ensure the ambulance service stays in touch with the people it serves. LACs are made up of volunteer members who provide feedback to the Region on its performance and on community issues relating to ambulance services in the Region. LACs manage funds that they raise locally and ensure those funds remain in the community and benefit the local ambulance service.
