Alisha McFarlane to transition to academia


The Australasian College of Paramedicine (the College) acknowledges the significant contribution of Alisha McFarlane, who will be transitioning out of her role as Member Engagement Manager to return full-time to academia in 2026.


Alisha McFarlane


Over the past two and a half years, Alisha has been instrumental in building connections across our membership and fostering collaboration throughout Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Her dedication to the profession, combined with her skills in research, teaching and advocacy, has strengthened the College's engagement work and left a lasting impact on our community.


As Alisha moves into this new chapter, the College is now seeking an Engagement Manager based in Aotearoa New Zealand. This role represents an exciting opportunity to bring fresh energy and perspectives to our work, continuing to build on the strong foundation that has been established.


Regional Engagement Officers Rachel Phipps and Emma Windsor will continue to support members across the region, and Marketing and Communications Manager Pip Wilson remains the key contact for all communications-related matters.


The College thanks Alisha for her professionalism, warmth and commitment, and looks forward to her continued involvement in a voluntary capacity.


We invite interested candidates to view the position advertisement here and encourage our community to welcome our future Engagement Manager with the same spirit of collegiality that defines our profession.
