In Australia, paramedicine is a regulated profession under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS), so to get a job, you will need formal qualifications as well as professional accreditation with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). There are two pathways to employment. (1) The VET pathway allows you to work in the health industry and shortens your time at university. Begin with the Certificate III in Non-Emergency Patient Transport and the Diploma of Emergency Health Care. With these nationally recognised qualifications, you can start working immediately in an emergency support role. You’ll still need your Bachelor of Paramedicine, but you’ll gain RPL for your VET qualifications and the study time is reduced to two years. (2) The university pathway takes three years and requires a Bachelor’s degree and professional experience in the field. Suitable degrees include the Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science), Bachelor of Paramedicine, or Bachelor of Health Science (Paramedicine).
