Paramedical career pathways

Exploring a career in the pre-hospital emergency or non-emergency healthcare industry is not only exciting because there are various career pathways you can take, you also have the choice to work in the public or private sector where an abundance of jobs are available.

If you’re looking to become a Medic, or work in the mines, you’ll likely find yourself gravitating towards the private sector rather than the public. You could expect to provide medical support on industrial sites, sporting games or competitions, music festivals, community events and much more.

If your goal is to work as a Registered Paramedic, individuals often start their career working for a state service. 


Private sector careers

If your goal is to enter the workforce immediately as a qualified Medic, APC’s courses will help equip you with the skills and experience required to gain employment in the private sector. 

The best part is, APC collaborates with 15+ established Industry Partners across Australia making the process of seeking Clinical Placement and employment opportunities seamless and of high quality.

Public sector careers

Work your way from the HLT51020 – Diploma of Emergency Health Care to a Bachelors degree at your university of choice to become a qualified Paramedic. Learn more about university pathways and how APC can help you on your study journey here

Note, these roles are often highly sought after in the private sector too so keep in mind you have many employment opportunities once qualified.
