Dear Mr Ward

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

You are welcome to make a formal request under the Government Information
(Public Access) Act 2009 for this information. I’ve attached a link to
our website which contains information about the Act and an application
form you can use if you wish.  Applications must be accompanied by the
application fee of $30 (or $15 with a concession card).

I am advised that we could provide a list of incidents that NSW Ambulance
has attended in the last 10 years for the location, however we would not
be able to provide a definitive number of ‘fatal’ or ‘non-fatal’
incidents. Motor vehicle accidents are not necessarily reported at the
time as “fatal” or “non-fatal” and in any case we do not classify our
records in this way. We may be able to search free text fields in our
computer aided dispatch system where the NSW Ambulance call-taker or
dispatcher has added comments based on reports by the caller that
patient(s) are deceased but this may not be 100% reliable; or attending
paramedics may report to the NSW Ambulance Control Centre that a patient
is deceased.

 

Note that requests of this type will attract processing fees ($30 per
hour). I’m advised at this stage of an estimated 5-6 hours processing
time.
