The committee is continually looking for other benefits to offer our members; if you have a suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sickness & Accident Claims

Once a member has used all their sick leave with the Ambulance Service, after producing a doctor's certificate and a Sickness & Accident Claim Form being completed, the ASWF pays the member up to 75% of his/her base salary plus 5/6ths of their rolled in rate for a period of up to three months when his/her superannuation takes over (some conditions apply). (The superannuation scheme in SA pays the employee 75% of his/her base salary after a period of 3 months until the member is able to return to work).

Payment is not made for the first two shifts of any one claim and new members to the fund are eligible for a maximum of 76 hours sickness benefits during their first year of membership. Claims (or notification of the intention to claim) are to be received by the office within 28 days of a member returning to work.

 
Death / Funeral
Upon the death of a member, their nominated beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment of $5200 to help with expenses. Other assistance can also be provided in these circumstances
Should a member suffer financial hardship, the Fund has access to various financial councillors. In addition, a repayable amount of up to $1000 can be made - subject to approval - to members for unforeseen hardship. Loans will be approved at the discretion of the committee. Repayments are made via Payroll deduction.
Medical Aids

Should a member or any of his / her immediate family require special medical equipment at any time, the fund will help organise whatever is required. 6 month loans of breast pumps, vaporisers & nebulisers are currently available from the ASWF office.

All equipment is strictly 6 month only loan, and is free of charge with the exception of the breast pumps which include a $27.50 charge for the attachment kit. (For hygiene reasons the kit cannot be returned and re-used).

Ameda Breast Pumps
Baby Capsules
The Fund stocks a number of Baby Capsules. As most babies grow out of these with about 3 months or so, it is very costly to purchase one just for this period. We loan these capsules to members free of charge for a 6 month period. We also have baby and booster seats for children aged 18 months - 5 years which are available for short term use. (ie weekend, school holidays) for grandparents, interstate visitors etc. Britax Baby Capsules
