| What Does It Cost? |
To Join the Ambulance Service Welfare Fund, subscriptions are taken by the Ambulance Service as payroll deductions. The amount is $13.00 per fortnight for operational staff and $9.00 per fortnight for non operational staff. From this amount, 5/6ths fo that is returned to you by claiming on your tax each financial year. Therefore is costs approximately $56/$39 per year for all of the benefits available to you. |
Currently this membership is only available to full time employees of the SA Ambulance Service. There is not another similar type of fund in Australia that can offer all these benefits for the low cost of $56/$39 per year. |

| What If I want a Baby Capsule / Nebuliser ? |
Just contact the office and we arrange one for you when you need it. It is better for the office if you give a few weeks notice for the Baby Capsules, otherwise you will have the office staff in a fluster hijacking one for you! |
