BACHELOR OF PARAMEDIC SCIENCE

Study Paramedic Science in the NT – St John Volunteer Pathway

Becoming a paramedic means keeping your cool in emergency and non-emergency situations. It means helping people when they need it most, and it means working in a career dedicated to helping others. Please note: While theoretical content delivered online can be accessed anywhere within the Northern Territory with internet coverage, the clinical skills and practical education will be delivered by practical workshop intensives held in Darwin. This will require students to spend up to 1 or 2 weeks in Darwin each semester. An annual subquota of up to five places is available specifically for St John Ambulance Australia (NT) volunteers. To be eligible you must have a minimum of 18 months volunteer experience with St John Ambulance Australia (NT) and have undertaken a minimum of 60 hours voluntary commitment per year during the past 18 months (applicants must also meet the University’s minimum entry requirements which includes completion of a VET Certificate 3 (or higher) in the Health Training Package award from St John Ambulance Australia).
