🚑 Better connectivity, better care in our region
Thanks to the Shire of Northam’s Community Growth Grant, local ambulance crews are now equipped with Starlink units—making a real difference where it matters most.
In a recent remote truck rollover with no mobile coverage, paramedics and emergency responders stayed fully connected—coordinating efforts, sharing updates, and focusing on patient care without interruption.
💬 “This capability has made a significant difference,” said Paramedic Ian Dyer.
With continued rollout across the fleet, this technology is strengthening emergency response across rural WA and helping deliver better outcomes for our community. 👏
