They received a new Isuzu D Max on Saturday, November 13 alongside the crew from Cooma's division which also got one.
St John Ambulance Goulburn division's 2IC Michelle Denney was grateful to receive the vehicle.
"The new car will be very helpful for us," Ms Denney said.
"The team will still have their old land cruiser which is difficult to drive due to its age and size.
"Unlike the old car which can only carry two people, the new one can carry five.
"It is also an automatic, so everyone is able to drive it."
The vehicle will help enhance capacity to provide community first aid and medical services throughout the southern region of NSW and will be used to provide community safety and health services at public events.
That will be crucial as events and community sport begins to pick up again with the easing of lockdown.
During times of crisis, the vehicles may be deployed for patient transport and to support front-line efforts during bushfires, floods or pandemics.
