NOTE: The Certificate III in Non-emergency Patient Transport qualification is not offered by the Australian Paramedical College at this time.
We suggest looking at the Certificate IV in Health Care, as this is a higher level qualification offering greater opportunities for employment in the private sector.
Non-emergency patient transport services (NEPT) are in very high demand right across Australia. As a non-emergency patient transport officer you will provide transport to patients who require clinical monitoring or assistance where response time is not a high priority. As a result, you will build strong relationships with coworkers and patients and meet others who are truly grateful for the work you do and the service you offer.
