The College supports the future of paramedicine by providing research related opportunities to foster and build the research capacity of the profession and disseminate evidence-based knowledge to inform policy and practitioners.
IIn this program, we provide practical training in reviewing manuscripts with a mentor. You will complete a series of online courses made available by the Web of Science Academy and then proceed to co-reviewing published papers and “live” submissions with your mentor and editors of the Journal. This program is suited to people in any role seeking to engage in peer review for the first time or who are already reviewing but seeking to reflect and further develop their capacity.
The College is establishing a Research Network to connect paramedicine researchers and promote collaboration.
To support paramedicine researchers, the College is developing an international registry: a comprehensive, user-friendly directory designed to strengthen research connections and build the profession’s research capacity.
The College Research Committee is pleased to present regular 30-minute ‘Talking Research’ podcasts. Hosted by leaders in the research field, the Talking Research episodes will discuss relevant topics for novice and experienced researchers. The series will conclude with a panel discussion, bringing all our speakers together to address key questions raised throughout their research. Use the button below to submit your questions.
Each episode will be available as a podcast on your favourite listening platform and as a vid-cast on the College website.
Access the College’s Talking Research recorded webinars. Sessions are a combination of research education sessions, author interviews, and research discussions.
Each recorded webinar explores a different topic to enhance member knowledge and understanding of research and its value to the paramedic profession.
The College seeks to promote engagement with research through its Paramedic Research Mentoring Program (PRMP).
Run over nine months, the program provides registered paramedics who do not have any formal research training with an opportunity to learn about research from experienced paramedic researchers.
Expressions of interest for the 2026 PRMP will open in October 2025.
The College is committed to the promotion, dissemination and effective translation of research into practice. The College prides itself on assisting paramedic researchers of all levels by promoting research participation opportunities to its members where suitable and appropriate to do so
The College Research Advisory Committee invites you to view current supported research participation opportunities or get in touch with us if you are considering using the College member base as a potential source for participants.

Please note: All research opportunities promoted by the College are approved by our Research Committee. For any questions or comments relating to content, please contact the researchers directly.
Support services are also available to paramedics who have participated in research opportunities. A list of these can be found on our website here.
The Australasian Paramedicine Workforce Survey is a high-impact three-year study commissioned by the Australasian College of Paramedicine which explores the demographic, career trajectory, work motivations and conditions for those working in clinical, management and educational capacities within the paramedicine workforce, including student paramedics. Rounds one and two have now been completed, with round three to commence at the end of 2025.
The study is conducted in a partnership with Western Sydney University (WSU), Edith Cowan University (ECU) and Auckland University of Technology (AUT).
