A big welcome to the newest members of the ACT Ambulance Service!

The group are all lateral transfers – meaning they’re experienced officers joining the service from interstate and abroad. Now calling Canberra home, they bring with them experience from London, New Zealand, and New South Wales.

Right now, they’re completing an ACT-specific induction, and will soon be headed out on shift, keeping the Canberra community safe.

Aircrew Officer Ingrid is going to look a little different next time you see her on our socials - she's shaving her head later this month for World's Greatest Shave!

The annual event raises funds to support vital research and support services for blood cancers, and Ingrid has been inspired by her incredible mum who’s currently undergoing treatment.

We can't wait to see Ingrid rocking her new buzz cut, and if you want to help her smash her fundraising goal you can donate here: https://www.worldsgreatestshave.com/s/26704/28363
