How's this for a good working system of government in a 'developed' first world nation

''Ambulance services are not covered by Medicare and fees vary around Australia, depending on which state or territory you live in.
While that's fairly straight forward, it gets much more complicated when you travel interstate and require an ambulance.
Some jurisdictions have what's called a "reciprocal arrangement" — but these agreements vary significantly.''

So in Australia - as an Australian - you cannot safely go somewhere in your own nation - and be injured in some remote place - which remote is about 99.9% of Australia -

and although being a responsible person - get a whopping bill for services which any reasonable person would consider as being expected that the nation would provide for it's citizens -------- for free?

Well not entirely true pintoho.

Residents of Qld and Tasmania have free ambulance in their home states.

But a small annual fee will cover you for ambulance services. As low as $50ish
