Next Stage of Transfer of Care Protocol Committed
The Tasmanian Government remains committed to reducing the Transfer of Care Protocol target to 45 minutes and we are actively working with all unions to ensure this occurs as quickly as possible.
Our Transfer of Care Protocol is already working, with more than 89 per cent of ambulances on average over the past week departing the major hospitals within 60 minutes.
Ambulances spent 17,500 fewer hours ramped in 2024-25 when compared to the year before - a reduction of nearly 64 per cent.
This is an outstanding result, and means ambulances are freed up to get back into the community and respond to emergencies sooner, ensuring Tasmanians get the lifesaving care they need, when they need it.
We will continue to work with unions to ensure paramedics spend more time saving lives and patients get life-saving treatment more quickly.
Our Government is delivering for Tasmanians, with the State leading the nation in health investment and employing more healthcare workers than any other State.
