According to Malcolm Farrow's Colours of the Fleet [frr94] the flag was authorised
9th October 1984.

I can confirm that the NSW Ambulance Service flag is indeed in current use.
The only ambulance base that I can specifically recall driving past is the
air ambulance base at Mascot Airport, where the flag is always in use, as
the sole flag. I think I have seen it other ambulance bases, but can't
recall.

I am an Ambulance Paramedic based in
Newcastle NSW, and have been in the service since 1977. I am the manager of the
Ambulance Service's Ceremonial Guard, which we established in 1988. We are a
volunteer unit staffed by serving officers, and are based in Newcastle. In regards to information on the
usage of our flag, it is indeed in use constantly with the Ceremonial Guard. We
carry it with the state and national flags as well as city flags on Anzac Day,
Vietnam Veterans Day and other civic functions. It was used and still is at
serving and retired officers funerals although recently the national flag is
allowed us at funerals.

One the reverse, the badge is displayd normally, rather than as a mirror image.
