EMS Event Medical

What EMS Event Medical does

EMS Event Medical is an Australian specialist provider of on-site medical and first aid services for events, founded in 1990 by Michael Hammond and headquartered in Smeaton Grange, NSW. The company deploys a workforce of over 150 staff — including doctors, paramedics, registered nurses, accredited event medics, and 'Event Angels' — across NSW with affiliate networks in most other Australian states (excluding Victoria and Western Australia) and into New Zealand. Its service portfolio covers corporate events, sports events, festivals and concerts, film and TV productions, community events, and special occasions, with a TGA Authority to administer medications and full scope-of-practice clinical credentials.

The company's core technology platform centres on the EEV-01 Event Emergency Vehicle, the first dedicated event emergency response vehicle in Australia, equipped with Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) thermal cameras, 4K night vision, a specialised medical pod with ECG/SpO2/NIBP patient monitoring, AED, BLS and ALS kits, and communication infrastructure including UHF radios, satellite phones, and 5G signal boosters. Beyond event medical staffing, EMS offers an integrated suite including accredited training services, safety compliance advisory, advanced equipment supply (in conjunction with sister business CTrak), and a new EMS Community Response division serving the Sutherland Shire.

The business operates on a direct B2B sales model targeting event organisers, with quote-based pricing tailored to specific event requirements. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts scaled by event size and clinical complexity. Marketing is primarily driven by brand reputation, formal endorsements from Australia's premier festivals and venues, and direct business development. The company is founder-owned, self-funded (no disclosed external capital), and operates with no parent entity.
