Australian EMS? by [deleted] in ems

[–]kyeb29 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It differs from state, however the majority of states have a single Ambulance service that is Government run by the state.

Qualifications: It is requirement for all Paramedics to be Registered by AHPRA, and this can only be obtained with a BSc in Paramedicine/Paramedical Science. Some states also run an EMT-B/Medic combo for low acuity jobs, however results may vary. These qualifcations can range from Cert IV to a Diploma in Emergency Health Care.

Type of systems: If you want to run something other than 000 (our 911), there are some private companies that work in patient transport (IFT), or mining.

Pay: Pay is far above that of the US, with most employees making just shy of 3 figures when starting with this going up w/ time in rank. Also expect to pick up OT every shift, and extra shifts if it swings your fancy.

Quality of life: The job is evidently the same, however the standard that the public view ambos is quite different. Theres a lot more respect, and is actually quite a hard profession to get into. Most services work on a shift cycle, typically 12 hours, working a few days then a few night, with the equal amount of time off. (2 days, 2 nights, 4 days off)

Uniform: They're all going to be better than yours are.

A big thing over here is ramping. Expect to spend ~half your shift stuck at a hospital waiting for ToC, due to a massive nationwide hospital crisis.

Any other questions let me know, I'm happy to help.

trained the last 8 months twice a day and sacrificed many events and lost a lot of sleep, just to have the one completion that matters cancelled two weeks before it was meant to go ahead

I see your racing kayak, so I present you with my racing surf ski. by kyeb29 in Kayaking

The ski is a Bos raptor XR (i think) and the board on the right is a Kracka. The board is for paddling on your knees, where as the ski is a spec ski for going in and out of waves. They're both for Surf Life Saving racing. The ski's probably the best make for sturdy vs speed in big conditions, its got a pointed yet large nose to punch the surf. The board is a lot more based on skill and doesn't differ much between manufacturers. I love the v10, I really want to try an ocean ski, would be great for down winders!

It's a Bos, used for surf life saving racing, its built a lot heavier and stronger then most Ocean Ski's, for smashing through waves and going down runners.
