Minister for Health, Ryan Park, extended a warm welcome to the nine Graduate Trainee Paramedics and 13 Trainee Emergency Medical Call Takers and said they would play a vital role in keeping the people of NSW safe and healthy.
“These new recruits join a cohort of more than 6,700 NSW Ambulance staff who share a commitment to serving their communities all over NSW,” he said.
“I know all those who are graduating have worked incredibly hard throughout their training. I thank them for their commitment and warmly welcome them to the NSW Ambulance service.
“We’re excited to have these new starters on board to help us to continue to provide the best possible care to the community.”
The graduate paramedics will be posted across NSW for 12 months to complete their on road internships before taking permanent positions in metropolitan and regional areas, while the emergency medical call takers will be posted to Triple Zero (000) control centres across the state.
