Emergency and urgent ambulance incidents attended by QAS are divided into 2 categories:

• Emergency (Code 1) incidents are potentially life threatening events that necessitate the use of ambulance warning devices (lights and sirens).
• Urgent (Code 2) incidents may require an undelayed response but do not necessitate the use of ambulance warning devices (lights and sirens).

• Non-emergency incidents (Code 3 and Code 4) are attended by an ambulance or patient transport service unit without the use of ambulance warning devices (lights and sirens).
• A non-emergency patient is seen by a medical practitioner and deemed by the medical practitioner as non-emergency but requiring ambulance transport.

The Queensland Government is committed to building a trusted data ecosystem that makes important and non-sensitive data open for anyone to access, use and share.

Data is increasingly vital to solving real world problems. The Queensland Government is committed to releasing data and allowing it to be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone, anytime, and anywhere. Open data can bring a number of benefits to Queensland, including to:

• foster transparent, accountable, efficient, responsive and effective government
• support the design, delivery and assessment of better services for citizens and businesses
• improve the evidence-base for policy and programs
• provide major opportunities for innovation and underpin growth of the digital economy
