South Australian Government commits to appoint a Chief Paramedic Officer alongside appointments in Vic and NT. tinyurl.com/4tpuv2vd
This commitment underscores the importance of #paramedicine as a #health profession in shaping & implementing policies for better #community #healthcare.

Quote from Pauline Cranmer, LAS Chief Paramedic: “When I joined (30 years ago), there was often an assumption that because you were a woman, you couldn’t be the paramedic.” “I’m really glad that people like me have come through those times and gone on to thrive. I am proud that many of the women of my generation of technicians and paramedics are now in leadership roles.”

Over the last 60 years, the percentage of women working at @londonambulance.nhs.uk has risen from 6% to 53% in 2025. Last year we appointed Pauline Cranmer as the UK’s female Chief Paramedic.

On the surface, this might seem like just another boring #policy consultation. In reality, it is a further crucial step in a much longer journey: the full #mobilisation & #integration of #paramedicine into Australia's #primary & #community #healthcare landscape.

Pleased to have lodged a submission to the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing on the Getting It Right: A New Definition for NDIS Providers. The submission advocated for recognition of paramedicine as a provider under Section 9 of the NDIS Act. #health #disability #paramedicine

Nationally in 2024-25, there were 25,568 FTE salaried personnel (all staff), 5891 volunteer personnel, & 954 Community First Responders. Ambulance services employ ~70% of Australia's #paramedicine workforce. #Attrition is low except for the NT which has challenging work environments.

Government funding was also lowest in WA.
This appears an unworthy/inadequate level of support from a state with healthy finances.
On equity grounds, patients should not need to cover such a high proportion of the overheads & costs of an #essential #universal #community service.
