If you get Injured?
On the Hill
Ski Patrol can help you. We are lucky in Australia as this on mountain service is free!
The resorts pay a limited number of ski patrollers in Australia to provide first aid and transport off the hill for injured guests. Each resort in Australia has a large number of volunteers that are qualified to make up the numbers to ensure all patrolled areas on the hill are covered.
Each resort has its own ski patrol and contact number. Put their number in your phone. After hours call 000.
Resort Medical Center’s on the hill do not bulk bill, so it will cost you about $60 – $130 a visit, plus x-rays.
