It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we inform members of the passing of our respected colleague and friend, Anthony “Tony” Walker ASM, who passed away today, 20th July 2026, at the age of 63.
Tony was a dedicated life-long servant to the Victorian community and a true leader in pre-hospital care. He first joined the Victorian Ambulance Service on 10th February 1986, embarking on an extraordinary career as a paramedic. His exceptional skills and commitment naturally led him into clinical leadership roles, where his vision continued to shape the service.
Upon his retirement on 22nd October 2022, Tony concluded a distinguished tenure as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ambulance Victoria—a position he held with immense pride and integrity for almost a decade. His profound impact on the profession earned him the prestigious Ambulance Service Medal (ASM).
Tony joined the Retired Ambulance Association of Victoria (TRAAVI) shortly after his retirement in November 2022, remaining a proud part of our MetroWest district. He was a deeply admired paramedic, an inspirational leader, and an administrator who achieved monumental positive change throughout his career.
On behalf of the Committee and all members of TRAAVI, we extend our deepest, most heartfelt condolences to Tony’s partner, Robyn Cameron, his family, loved ones, and former colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.
Details regarding funeral arrangements and service information will be shared with members once they become available.
Rest in peace, Tony. Your legacy lives on.
