    Australia’s only paramedic careers conference

    One of the most widely recognised aspects of paramedicine is the theme that paramedics primarily work in ambulance services. While this has historically been the case (and will be in the forseeable future), paramedics are now expanding their expertise into a wide range of unexpected industries and innovative fields.

    Having worked in some of the most unconventional and unexpected places imaginable for paramedics, we’re uniquely positioned to bring some new ideas to the table. But we thought, why not take it a step further? Let’s host a gathering that brings together some of the brightest minds in the field to explore this from multiple perspectives.

    Whether you're just starting your career, in the middle of your journey, or a seasoned professional looking for something new, this gathering is for all paramedics. If you've ever wondered about the possibilities beyond traditional ambulance services or wanted to explore new opportunities within ambulance services, this is the event you won't want to miss.
