"The Bush Medivac Western Australia project will deliver improved emergency and health services to Australians living in regional and remote areas by providing state-of-art terrestrial and non-terrestrial broadband network infrastructure," said Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
The project will use broadband technology applications and devices that will enable the integration of West Australian health and emergency service organisations' communication systems. This will enhance the communications and coordination capabilities of all major health and emergency services for day-to-day operations and in preparation for any major incident or disasters.
The upgrades are expected to increase the operational efficiency of health and emergency service organisations in Western Australia significantly by providing increased support for regional and remote communities.
