The Minister has power to determine fees for the purposes of this Act.

Fees in the 2016-17 Financial Year were generally increased from fees in the previous Financial Year by an indexation of 1.6% and rounded to an appropriate value.

Item numbers, included in the schedule, column 2, enable the comparison of past fees set under the Act with those set by this instrument.

The instrument contains further explanatory notes about the fee for various items in the past Financial Year.

The instrument authorises the Chief Officer, ACT Ambulance Service, to waive certain fees for ambulance services where the Chief Officer is satisfied the services were provided in relation to a good Samaritan act, or where exceptional personal or other circumstances apply in relation to the person receiving the services. 

The instrument removes fee 298.3 for provision of a specialist bariatric ambulance and crew at the request of the Ambulance Service of NSW.
