Today at the AV Museum, three of our hardworking volunteers recently had birthdays, so we celebrated the trifecta with an impromptu party. Ralph our curator, along with Buddy & Lee were treated to a well deserved delicious cake. Unfortunately we could only use a few candles, because if we put on the cake the number of candles for their combined birthdays, the museum would have burned down. Happy birthday Ralph, Buddy & Lee and thank you for all that you do for the AV Museum 🎂

Yesterday the volunteers at the AV Museum attended the VRC Flemington Racecourse to help celebrate the life & achievements of the late Professor Tony Walker ASM, former paramedic & CEO of AV. Tony’s funeral attracted hundreds of mourners who formed a guard of honour as his procession passed by. Amongst the vehicles involved was “Tony’s ambulance”, the museum’s 1992 Ford F-150 Jakab which was the type that Tony spent a lot of his paramedic career working in. Thank you Tony for all that you achieved, R.I.P.

The Volunteers at the AV Museum are deeply saddened with the passing of Tony Walker ASM today at the age of 63. Tony was a great paramedic and manager, he joined the then Ambulance Service Melbourne (ASM, ancestor to AV) in 1986 as a student paramedic, advancing to a long career as a MICA Paramedic. He then rose up through the ranks of ambulance management to become the CEO of AV in 2014 before retiring in 2022. His hard work and dedication to the ambulance profession earned him the Ambulance Service Medal (ASM) and widespread respect amongst his staff. He was also a great friend and supporter of the AV Museum.

The volunteers extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Tony’s partner, Robyn, his family, loved ones, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace, Tony and thank you for all that you have done.
