Just wondering if anyone working with (or who’s worked with) Ambulance Victoria can share their experience around start‑of‑shift expectations. Do crews usually get in before the rostered start to do things like handover, checks, truck prep, log‑ons, etc.? If so, how early do crews normally get in and is that time generally unpaid and treated as part of the job rather than overtime? Also keen to hear whether this has been the norm for some time and if anything’s changed recently with the new EBA or end‑of‑shift stuff. Just trying to get a sense of how common this is across the service. Thanks heaps for any insights!
