NSW AMBULANCE has welcomed eight new paramedics to the Hunter, following their official induction into the service.
The new paramedics will be based across Hunter Zones 1 and 2, where they will begin 12-month on-road placements to consolidate their training.
“We’re thrilled to welcome eight new paramedics to the Hunter – a boost that will directly benefit the region’s healthcare services,” said Minister for the Hunter, Yasmin Catley.
“Being a paramedic is an incredibly rewarding career and I’m confident the local community will warmly welcome these new recruits.
“Our focus is on making the Hunter a leading healthcare hub and today’s announcement is another important step towards that goal.”
NSW Ambulance Chief Executive Dr Dominic Morgan said, “These paramedics and control centre interns are stepping into a role that demands not just clinical skill, but compassion, resilience, and courage.
“Whether responding to emergencies or supporting community healthcare, these graduates will become an integral part of NSW Ambulance.”
