Twenty-eight years ago, Lisa Deck ASM began her career with the ACT Ambulance Service as a student paramedic.

Now, she is preparing for retirement as an intensive care paramedic, having spent most of her career in the frontline role.

Lisa has worked as a training and development officer within the ACT Ambulance Service, and has played a key role in the development and implementation of a new roster system to improve the welfare outcomes for paramedics.

For her service, Lisa was awarded the Ambulance Service Medal in The King’s Birthday 2025 Honours list.

“I have been fortunate to have a job which allows me to go to work and make a positive impact on someone’s day. I can’t always ‘fix’ the problem, but I can nearly always make it at least a little bit better.”

9-year-old Finn had a big day - what started as a doctor’s visit turned into an urgent helicopter ride from Canberra Hospital to Westmead after doctors found serious blood clots. He was initially nervous about flying, but the amazing Newborn & paediatric Emergency Transport Service - NETS NSW and Toll Ambulance Rescue crew made sure he and his mum Briana felt safe and comfortable throughout. Pilot Andrew and Aircrew Officer Ben even gifted Finn patches off their flight suits! Well done team.
