Except in the Wellington region, emergency and non-urgent ambulance transportation is primarily carried out by the charitable organization, St. John New Zealand. Ambulance services in metropolitan Wellington and in Kapiti are provided by the Wellington Free Ambulance organisation. The Wairarapa DHB maintains its own ambulance service.
