AMBULANCE Victoria has invested in a localised recruitment drive to help ease the burden on the state's health system.
Targeting Sea Lake, Patchewollock and Murrayville, the organisation is hoping to employ its next batch of lifesavers in the form of ambulance community officers (ACOs).
These first responders are employed on a casual basis to provide advanced first aid in remote communities where the case load is low and branches are not staffed full-time.
