Enhance Patient Care in Primary Settings

The role of an Extended Care Paramedic plays a vital part in enhancing accessibility and capacity for primary care by providing specialized acute care expertise within a multidisciplinary team.

This position addresses the growing demand for same-day urgent care while reducing pressure on primary care resources and improving patient flow through the practice.

The Extended Care Paramedic serves as a bridge between emergency care expertise and primary care delivery, utilizing advanced paramedic skills to manage acute presentations that would otherwise require GP intervention or emergency department visits.

By operating under established standing orders and/or clinician direction and delegation, the Extended Care Paramedic extends clinical capacity while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and care quality.

The goal is to optimize patient outcomes through timely intervention, reduce healthcare system burden through appropriate care delivery in the primary care setting, and support practice sustainability by creating efficient care pathways for urgent presentations.

  • Work autonomously with minimal supervision.
  • Develop, coordinate, and complete quality improvement projects on time and achieving desired outcomes.
  • Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to ensure seamless care delivery.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient records.
  • Stay current with relevant policies, procedures, and guidelines.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Postgraduate Diploma in Health Science (Paramedicine) with ECP specialization.
  • Specialist Paramedic registration available from June 2025.
  • Current practicing certificate and professional indemnity insurance.
  • Minimum 1-2 years experience working as an Extended Care Paramedic in a primary care or community environment.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing, coordinating, and completing quality improvement projects or similar activities on time and achieving desired outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Previous experience in primary care or community health settings.
  • Confident in using multiple technology platforms and willing to learn and adapt.
  • Additional qualifications in areas such as wound care, mental health, or chronic disease management.

Essential Skills and Abilities:

  • Previous experience working in an Extended Care Paramedic role, cultural competency training, and understanding of health equity principles.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, analytical, technology, and organizational skills; excellent judgment, diplomacy, discretion, and initiative.
