The Australian Paramedics Association New South Wales (APANSW) claims the system is frequently failing to register ambulance locations.
APANSW Secretary Gary Wilson said the outdated system needs to be changed.
NSW Ambulance was forced to upgrade the system because the 2G network was turned off, so now it operates on the 4G network," he said.
"But it's clearly still not good enough, it needs to be further updated because NSW ambulance doesn't know why the system still is not reliable.
"We need it to be upgraded to the latest technology so our paramedics and the community are safe."
Young NSW ambulance inspector Stephen Pollard said local paramedics support the Association's push for a new system to be installed in ambulances.
"In this day in age it is important that call centres are able to accurately track our vehicles," he said.
"So we support the Association in any action they may take to upgrade our system.
"We know that some locations in Young our tracking system does not work."
Mr Pollard said the ambulance service needs the system to work all the time for two obvious reasons.
"We need our call centres to be able to find the closest Ambulance to assist someone in need and police need to be able to find paramedics who activate their duress alarms if they are being attacked on the job,” he said.
Mr Wilson said dispatch officers working in the control centres had reported ambulances are not where the system is showing they are
"I personally have been incorrectly located by up to 60 kilometres, we want the system fixed before a tragedy occurs
"If we're not getting to certain life-threatening conditions quickly people will die if there are delays and that's a real risk of happening whilst we continue to have problems with the current system."
NSW Ambulance say they are working on upgrading the Mobile Data Terminal Network.
"We are assessing a range of additional technologies to be implemented into ambulance vehicles including WiFi capability, which will further improve interoperability and support frontline paramedics in mission-critical communications," a statement released by NSW Ambulance said.
"The current duress functionality is also being refreshed as part of the upgrade work being undertaken.
"In May and June 2016, NSW Ambulance commissioned a radio frequency engineer consultant to undertake a review of the functionality and operational state of the existing vehicle [tracking] and duress system."
NSW Ambulance is currently considering four recommendations made by the engineer.
Australian Paramedics Association New South Wales (APANSW) Secretary Gary Wilson said the State Government should give the issue its attention too.
“The money just needs to be spent to fix this,” he said.
