The beautiful story of two Queensland paramedics who took a dying woman to the beach one last time has inspired a new service to grant wishes for the terminally ill.

The state government and the Queensland Ambulance Service have teamed up to launch the new Wish ambulance.

It will be used to take Queenslanders who need constant care on important journeys before they die, perhaps to the beach, to see their grandkids or to the place where they got married.

The service was inspired by the regular acts of kindness Queensland paramedics perform, including the touching story of Graeme Cooper and Danielle Kellan, who went out of their way to grant a woman’s dying wish in 2017.
