Minns ALP: More paramedics for regions
Minns delivers more medical assistance for rural NSW
MORE paramedics are on the way to regional NSW as part of the NSW Labor Government rebuilding essential services!
NSW Ambulance has welcomed 127 new paramedic interns and 28 trainee emergency medical call takers, after they were officially inducted into the service in a ceremony at the State Operations Centre, Sydney Olympic Park.
Following this latest induction, there are now more than 500 new paramedics and more than 80 emergency medical call takers who have joined the service since the beginning of the year, further boosting frontline health services across the state.
The new recruits across NSW come from a range of backgrounds, including paramedic intern Rowena Meredith, a former Tokyo Olympics 2021 bronze medallist, and trainee emergency medical call taker Taylah Ferguson, the daughter of a former paramedic who joins us from London Ambulance Service.
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.
