Leadership Program

The Australasian College of Paramedicine Leadership Program has been established to support the development of future leaders in paramedicine. The inaugural program ran over 2021 and 2022, with approximately 20 participants successfully completing the program.

In 2023, our six-month program will be delivered through a mix of online and in-person sessions, and aims to build the capacity of paramedics and health sector managers to navigate the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environments they work in. Sessions will be held as interactive, small group and ‘hands-on’ modules.

To navigate the myriad challenges and opportunities they face, paramedics and health sector managers require a unique skill set and a greater awareness of their self, teams and communities, in order to:

Mobilise, adapt and thrive in these changing and highly complex environments;
Develop heightened skills of critical thinking and self-awareness;
Effectively diagnose complex challenges; and
Skilfully intervene with creative solutions

Program structure

The program will be delivered to a cohort of 25 participants and will include the following elements:

a series of modules to be led by Harvard trained facilitators (delivered both in-person and online);
small group discussions and peer consultation focusing on career planning and professional development;
case study presentations delivered by paramedic leaders;
access to live and recorded leadership webinars and leadership resources delivered by the Institute of Managers and Leaders (IML)
information and guidance provided to participants' line managers;
continuous improvement and enhancement surveys conducted.
