Eleven new paramedic interns are on their way to the Central Coast ambulance zone to complete the on-the-road portion of their 12-month internships, before taking permanent positions in metropolitan and regional areas.
Minister for Central Coast and Member for Wyong David Harris welcomed the new interns.
“They will receive valuable on-the-road experience to best equip them for what will be rewarding careers on the frontline of our emergency services while serving healthcare needs of our growing region,” he said.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the interns had embraced an essential role within the community.
“We are sincerely grateful for your dedication to a career centred on compassion and service in our community.
“The Central Coast warmly welcomes you.”
Across the state, NSW Ambulance has welcomed 127 new paramedic interns and 28 trainee emergency medical call takers, after they were officially inducted into the service in a ceremony at the State Operations Centre at Sydney Olympic Park on Friday, June 27.
Following this latest induction, there are now more than 500 new paramedics and more than 80 emergency medical call takers who have joined the service since the beginning of the year.
Health Minister Ryan Park said the new staffers would continue a legacy of care and commitment.
“The induction of these new health staff reflects the continued growth and evolution of NSW Ambulance,” he said.
“Each new officer has already demonstrated the core values of integrity, compassion, and service which remains central to NSW Ambulance.”
