Lucy Casteletti Bachelor of Paramedicine Graduate
Integrity, accountability, respect, professionalism and teamwork – these attributes embody the practice of Paramedicine.
If you’re compassionate, committed and want to make a difference in your community, a career in Paramedicine presents exciting and satisfying opportunities.
The Bachelor of Paramedicine is offered as a two-year, full time (fast-track) program, at two of our campuses, Hobart, Tasmania and Rozelle, NSW. Throughout your degree, you'll have the chance to learn skills in small groups, and then apply what you learn to professional experience placements within ambulance services.
You’ll be taught by qualified paramedics, both on our staff and through our connections with the local healthcare sector. We offer a low student/teacher ratio during your clinical practical experiences, which provides you with individual attention and support throughout your studies.
Quota for domestic Tasmanian students
At least 75% of domestic places will be offered to Tasmanians for the Hobart Campus intake only. This is defined as:
- School leaver applicants who have completed a Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) or International Baccalaureate (IB) at a Tasmanian High School or Secondary College within 5 years of the course commencement date.
- Current resident in Tasmania.
- 1 Interpret and apply the disciplinary body of knowledge to contemporary paramedic practice
- 2 Provide safe person-centred care informed by the principles of evidence-based and reflective practice in diverse settings
- 3 Practice the discipline of paramedicine through the use of psychomotor, interpersonal, interprofessional and clinical decision-making skills
- 4 Practice the profession in a legal, ethical, sustainable and culturally safe manner
Throughout your studies you will have a wide range of integrated and optional practical experience opportunities. These include:
- Access simulation equipment in both Hobart and Sydney to develop patient assessment and management skills, clinical reasoning, practical skills, communication, teamwork, and leadership in a supported environment.
- Undertake interdisciplinary learning activities with students studying other health courses, such as nursing and medicine. This includes collaborating in classes and practicals to build inter-disciplinary appreciation.
- Participate in community engagement activities such as Open Day to develop confidence engaging a range of audiences, and help improve both understanding of paramedicine, and broader health literacy
Within this course you will undertake three Professional Experience Placement (PEP) units, one in your first year, and two in your second year. Each unit offers 144 hours of placement experience, with a focus on communication, professionalism, safe practice and leadership.
In these placements you can gain experience across both metropolitan and rural settings, with diverse patient groups, working in ambulance stations as well as other health facilities such as aged care and hospitals.
As part of the first placement unit, you will have the opportunity to undertake an additional week-long placement in an aged-care facility to expand your skills. With Australia’s rapidly ageing population, this is an ever-increasing need healthcare professionals need to be prepared for.
In the second placement you may have the opportunity to undertake placement with one of our international partners. Our students previously completed placements in Nepal, Timor Leste, England, United States, Vanuatu, and Thailand. Places are limited and typically self-funded, and participants are selected on merit.
The third placement is entirely with a jurisdictional station to ensure you are fully prepared to hit the ground running and start making a difference with your new career.
The Commonwealth Prac Payment offers paramedicine students support while they’re undertaking mandatory placements. From July 2027, eligible students will be able to access $338.60 per week (benchmarked to the single Austudy rate) while they’re undertaking a placement.
Safety in Practice Compliance
This course includes compulsory Professional Experience Placements. You must meet the Safety in Practice Requirements before census date of the first semester of your course. The safety in practice requirements are completed separately to the course admission application.
This program of study is currently accredited by the Paramedicine Accreditation Committee and approved by the Paramedicine Board of Australia (the National Board).
Graduates of the program can apply for registration as a paramedic with the National Board via the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) website.
Career outcomes
Our Bachelor of Paramedicine allows you to work in complex, dynamic and sometimes extreme environments. You will possess the expertise and values to have a positive impact on the quality of life for the community and will be equipped to work anywhere around the world.
You will gain the expertise to assess and manage a wide range of clinical presentations in out-of-hospital settings, understanding the importance of informed clinical reasoning in unpredictable environments, and making a positive impact on your community.
Graduating with a Bachelor of Paramedicine will enable you to become a registered paramedic with agencies such as the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This qualification allows you to work in various settings, including:
- State-based ambulance services around Australia and New Zealand
- International ambulance and healthcare services
- Community and primary care health services
- Specialist response teams
The demand for Ambulance Officer and Paramedics is expected to grow by 22.3% by 2033.^
Postgraduate Study Options
The new Advanced Practice courses have been co-designed with major health providers to develop critical leadership capacity needs of health professionals from all disciplines.
There are a range of specialisations available, with the following highly relevant to practicing paramedics and designed to develop your professional capabilities:
- Community and Urgent Care
- Critical Care and Retrieval
- Dementia
- Organisational Performance
- Workplace Psychology
- Governance
- Healthcare Education
