More information
An Aeromedical Paramedic provides critical emergency care and advanced life support to patients during air transport. You might work for state-based ambulance services, search and rescue organisations, or private aeromedical providers. You will focus on stabilising trauma victims, performing complex clinical interventions, and managing patient safety in aircraft. By preparing specialised kits and responding to remote retrievals, you ensure patients reach hospital care safely.

You will liaise with flight crews and emergency department staff to ensure a smooth transition of care and the best possible outcomes for your patients.
