| TEAM MEDICAL AUSTRALIA HISTORY |
Team Medical Australia was developed in 2004. Since then the team has became an incorporated association and boasts a member list which now comprises over 70 members. Team Medical Australia's first event was to provide emergency medical services at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for the Mini Car Club. After just 12 months Team Medical Australia went "national" by providing services for the V8 Supercar Grand Finale at Phillip Island, the Mount Panorama Racing Circuit for the inaugural "International Motor Festival" and Bega for the "Bega rally". Team Medical Australia also provided medical services for the 2007 round of the A1 GP "world cup of motorsport" at Eastern Creek Raceway NSW. The services provided at these events have made Team Medical Australia the preferred provider of emergency medical services.
