About the Australian Capital Territory Ambulance Service (ACTAS)

ACTAS is responsible for providing emergency and non-emergency ambulance services to the ACT community. Our emergency operations comprise Graduate Paramedic Interns, Ambulance Paramedics and Intensive Care Paramedics who consistently achieve exceptionally high patient satisfaction scores. As part of the ACT Emergency Services Agency, we work closely with the other emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

ACTAS operates a modern fleet of emergency ambulances, non-emergency patient transport vehicles and a range of specialist assets including 4WD, single response and multi-purpose vehicles. In addition to our ground vehicles, ACTAS also provides Intensive Care Paramedics to the SouthCare Toll rescue helicopter. Each month ACTAS attends to in excess of 5,000 incidents in the ACT region.

The location

Well serviced by major shopping precincts, universities, sporting centres and an international airport, the Canberra region has everything that you need for you and your family to make yourselves at home. More than half of the ACT is protected as a nature reserve meaning that bushwalks, mountain bike trails, waterfalls, rivers, and spectacular lookouts are all within easy reach of the CBD. Want to venture further afield? The hustle and bustle of Sydney, the tranquillity of the NSW south coast or the excitement of the snow country are all within easy driving distance. More information on the region can be found at https://visitcanberra.com.au/.

The geographical environment within which the ACTAS works encourages short commutes to / from work, irrespective of which ambulance station you are rostered to work from on any given shift. As an ACTAS paramedic you will work from all stations across the ACT, the most remote of which is generally within thirty minutes commute from the Canberra CBD and well within the urban fringe.

We welcome people with experience from the community, public and private sectors able to meet the physical and aptitude capability requirements of this role. We believe the more diverse our knowledge base is, the better our results will be.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, a veteran, identify as LGBTIQ, or if you bring the life experience of a culturally and linguistically different background, we are especially welcoming of your application.
