Former Victorian Police chief commissioner Ken Lay says he plans to modernise Ambulance Victoria, when he begins as chair of the board in December.

Mr Lay told Macquarie Media that the organisation needed to look to at the use of technology and "move with the times".

"We need to continue to modernise, we need to continue to get better to reshape the organisation so I think that will probably be a fairly big role to for the board going forward," he said.

"Sometimes agencies, particularly like police, sometimes like ambulance, we get stuck in the past.

"The Government has created a committee to look at Ambulance Victoria's culture and what the future might look like, so that's starting to do that work now, about where they can get better."

He said the issues of hospital ramping, response times and the welfare of paramedics would also be a priority.

"Clearly response times are spoken about a lot, particularly around election times and when things don't quite work out as well as they should," he said.

"There was some awful stuff reported not so long about health and welfare of some of our paramedics - suicide, stress - I've come from an organisation that had some similar challenges to that, so I think I've got some things to bring to the table there."

Entire Ambulance Victoria board resigned in 2014

The entire board of Ambulance Victoria resigned at the request of the newly elected Labor Victorian Government late last year.

Interim administrator Howard Ronaldson has overseen the organisation since then, while Tony Walker has been acting CEO.

A full board will be appointed in the coming months, who will appoint an ongoing CEO.

Mr Lay said the day-to-day running of the organisation will rest with the organisation's new chief executive.

Premier Daniel Andrews promised before the election he would seek the resignations of the board members, following a long running pay dispute with paramedics.

Mr Lay said it would be important for him to have a "strong relationship" with Ambulance Employees union leader Steve McGhie.

"I suspect that we'll work very, very well together to make sure that both our paramedics and our community are safe," he said.

Since leaving the police force, Mr Lay has also taken on roles with the domestic violence and ice task forces.

He has also been appointed to undertake an internal review of Australia Post after a delivery contractor was charged over allegedly running a criminal syndicate, which is due to report in October.
