The College is committed to enabling the development of discipline-specific knowledge through support of members undertaking research.
The development of knowledge that informs clinical practice, health service delivery or paramedic education is critical to the development of the profession. Well-designed and executed research will provide the basis for evidence-based practice, particularly in areas where knowledge is lacking or incomplete.
Although universities and research centres have an obligation to provide appropriate supervision, statistical support and the infrastructure required to undertake research, the College recognises there are additional costs associated with research that may not be covered by universities and research centres. Such costs may be eligible for a College research grant.
There is one funding round per year. Applications open Friday 28th April 2023 and close Friday 16th June 2023.
The College is pleased to offer three types of research grants, open to College members undertaking research:

The College recognises the costs of continuing professional development can be prohibitive for some paramedics. As the peak professional body, the College is committed to supporting members in their educational pursuits and offers a number of education grants each year that can be used for professional development activities.
Education grants will be available soon for professional development activities, Critical Care Summit attendance and ACPIC attendance.
