The Australasian College of Paramedicine is pleased to release, in partnership with Western Sydney University (WSU), Edith Cowan University (ECU) and Auckland University of Technology (AUT), the first report of the Australasian Paramedicine Workforce Survey.
This is the first report of a three-year study identifying and exploring trends that affect the Australasian (specifically, Aotearoa New Zealand and Australian) paramedicine workforce. The research focuses on collecting and analysing data pertaining to the demographic, career trajectory, and work motivations and conditions for those working in clinical, management and educational capacities within the paramedicine workforce of Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. It also provides a snapshot of student paramedics’ demographic and career aspirations.
Data was collected via an online survey from September 2023 to January 2024. During this time, 1236 valid responses were collected.
