Recruitment: Paramedics

Being a paramedic with the QAS

A paramedic is a registered health professional who provides front-line out of hospital care, medical retrieval and health related transport for sick and injured people in emergency and non-emergency settings.

Paramedics work collaboratively with the broader QAS organisation and other health care and emergency services to provide quality, patient centred care to the Queensland community.

National Registration

Professional registration as a paramedic is a mandatory condition of employment in designated roles within the QAS.

Paramedics must be registered with the Paramedicine Board of Australia (the Board) and meet the Board's registration standards to practise in Australia. A public register of practitioners is managed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra).

For further information regarding paramedic registration, please visit the Ahpra website.

Recruitment Campaigns

• The Graduate Paramedic Program is the most appropriate pathway for applicants who have up to two years’ working experience, even if a graduate program has been completed.
• The Qualified Paramedic Campaign is the most appropriate pathway for applicants who had more than two years’ working experience, practising at a level equivalent to an Advanced Care Paramedic II (ACPII), within an emergency care setting.
