Upcoming Information Sessions...
Individuals currently practicing as paramedics can choose from two paths towards their Bachelor degree. The EMS Occupational Health and Safety specialisation is designed for paramedics seeking to gain a formal bachelor qualification as well as develop skills and knowledge in occupational health and safety. The clinical specialisation option focuses on out-of-hospital clinical care. Both specialisations are offered by distance education to allow you to balance study with professional commitments.
The practice of paramedic services is increasing in specific business areas such as mining, construction, leisure and recreation. In addition, organizers of activities that are regarded as high risk such as motorsports, film and TV productions, and major sporting events, increasingly hire paramedics for these events. Given the increase in demand from industry, and often the remote nature of these projects, having the highest level of emergency patient care with an associated diverse occupational health and safety role is required.
The EMS Occupational Health and Safety specialisation will enhance the career opportunities of current paramedics seeking employment in industry. Those employed by private paramedic services, and current industrial paramedics working within the diverse field outside of pre-hospital emergency care provision, can also benefit from the program. The program meets the current demands of the industry for skilled professionals in paramedic services.
For program information including duration and campus availability please see Bachelor of Paramedic Science (Specialisation)
