The Opportunity

Safety Australia is collaborating with Sydney Trains to provide Paramedics and Registered Nurses the opportunity to work in a diverse and lively working environment to help facilitate the safe travel of the Sydney Train customers where needed.

This initiative is part of the Reliability program and is designed to:

• Assist customers who fall sick or are injured on trains or stations; and
• Where safe to do so, remove customers who fall sick or are injured on trains as an urgent priority.
• Where a customer is unable to be removed from the train, the Paramedics and Registered Nurses will remain on the train with the customer and provide treatment on the service.

The Role

The structure of the role allows for flexible and social working hours and is Monday to Friday; split shift as follows:

• 6am – 10 am
• 3pm – 7pm

The role is to provide immediate primary care onsite. Incidents that Paramedics and Registered Nurses generally respond to range from heart attacks, chest pain, breathing issues, trips, falls, sprains etc. The variety of low-to-high acuity injuries means that there medics work closely with NSW Ambulance if the incident requires further treatment in hospital.
