In a collaboration described as a “first”, NSW Ambulance Service will second two positions to the Charles Sturt University Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) course. Described by Peter O'Meara, Associate Professor in CSU’s School of Biomedical Sciences, as “fantastic”, the one and two-year positions are being advertised, “Because the course has been growing at such a rate. This will provide more staff up-front for the growing demand. It will also give NSW Ambulance further knowledge of our course, and we will get the opportunity to pick their brains about what is going on in NSW Ambulance. They are always seeking graduates, and an extra 250 jobs on top of the 300 they already recruit annually was just announced in the NSW Budget,” said Professor O’Meara.
