Adult Retrieval Victoria

Adult Retrieval Victoria (ARV), part of Ambulance Victoria, provides specialized clinical coordination, retrieval, and critical care services across the state. ARV supports the transfer of critically ill patients between hospitals, offering 24/7 telephone advice from expert critical care coordinators. The service ensures the availability of critical care beds, organizes transport with qualified medical teams, and facilitates major trauma referrals. ARV also plays a key role in education, training, and research to improve patient outcomes and system processes.
