Since 1 July 2008 Emergency ambulance services in Victoria have been provided by a single provider known as Ambulance Victoria. It was formed from the three previous providers of emergency ambulance services: the Metropolitan Ambulance Service (MAS), Rural Ambulance Victoria (RAV), and the Alexandra District Ambulance Service (ADAS).〔http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/state-ambulance-services-to-merge/2008/04/22/1208742941520.html, retrieved 26 April 2008〕 The MAS was responsible for Melbourne and its outer suburbs while RAV was responsible for regional and rural areas of Victoria, except for the Alexandra, Marysville, and Eildon areas, which was serviced by ADAS (). All services of Ambulance Service Victoria operate pursuant to the ''Ambulance Services Act 1986''. In addition, a number of non-emergency patient transport companies operate under the ''Non-Emergency Patient Transport Act 2003'' are use conventional ambulance equipped with emergency lights and sirens, and sometimes attend emergency cases. ==Volunteers== In some remote areas, Ambulance Victoria oversees volunteer "Community Emergency Response Teams" (CERTs) to deliver first aid before professional paramedics can attend to an emergency victim. () CERTs do not transport patients. "Ambulance Community Officers" offer similar services as individuals.
