Qualified Paramedics

Our paramedics are among the best and we are building on that proud tradition to be the leading provider of first aid and related services in Australia. Individual commitment and hard work are two qualities essential in all our paramedics.

Paramedics are often one of the first healthcare professionals on the scene of any accident or medical emergency. They are usually one of a two-person ambulance crew. The prime objective for a Paramedic Officer is the efficient and competent treatment and transportation of the sick and injured, within the scope of the Officer’s training and experience. It involves daily contact with people in crisis.

When they arrive at the scene, Paramedics will assess the patient's condition and take potentially life-saving decisions about any treatment needed before the patient is transferred to hospital.

If you hold a current Authority to Practice as a Paramedic with an Australian State or Territory Ambulance Service, you are eligible to apply for vacant Qualified Paramedic positions with St John NT. Please see our Current Vacancies page for details of available opportunities.
