Victoria overhauls Triple Zero standards, demanding ambulances reach critical cases within 145

Victoria overhauled Triple Zero emergency call standards Tuesday, requiring ambulances to reach "no sign of life" cases within 145 seconds. The state's stretched health system allocated $32.3 billion in its budget, with $1.6 billion for hospitals and $50 million for faster paramedic response. New quality measures require operators to accurately convey scene safety information and timely updates to first responders.
