MORE PARAMEDICS JOIN NSW AMBULANCE

New recruits bolster frontline health
NSW Ambulance has welcomed 23 new paramedic interns and 21 trainee emergency medical call takers after they were officially inducted into the service at a ceremony at the State Operations Centre irecently.
 
They join 495 paramedics and 117 emergency medical call-takers who have begun roles with NSW Ambulance this year so far.
 
These new recruits will further boost frontline health services across the state, when they start their roles from Saturday.
 
The new recruits joining the service come with a range of backgrounds and experience, including Paramedic Intern Rebecca Olds was inspired to join NSW Ambulance following a horse-riding accident involving her mother which NSW Ambulance paramedics responded to.
 
The paramedic interns will be posted across NSW to complete the on-road portion of their 12-month internships before taking permanent positions in metropolitan and regional areas.
 
The emergency medical call takers will be posted to the Sydney, Northern and Western Triple Zero (000) control centres.
 
The NSW Government is committed to supporting our paramedic workforce, investing in a record pay increase for paramedics in December making them among the highest paid in the country and rolling out of 500 additional paramedics in regional, rural and remote communities.
