Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Ambulances cost in Australia too, very expensive.
I was involuntary sectioned once, and the ride to the hospital cost me $1200.
I now pay for insurance, about $300 a year for ambulance and dental. I recently had crushing chest pains while driving out in the middle of nowhere, and they sent me two ambulances, each from different towns. That would have cost me $4k without insurance, but cost me $0 with insurance
That's insurance I can get behind and I'm glad you have that option.
Unlike my insurance (US citizen) which costs me $200/month and when my wife was forced to take an ambulance for a hospital transfer. (We tried to get them to let me drive her and they refused), we now have a $5000 ambulance bill.
The costs for ambulances varies between states, here in qld the ambulance is free and if I remember correctly in Canberra you won't be charged for specific emergencies.
