More Paramedics for the Shoalhaven

An additional 125 paramedics are now working across NSW, as part of the Minns Labor Government’s election commitment to boost the regional workforce by 500 paramedics over four years.

This is a significant increase for regional areas and will further assist NSW Ambulance in providing world-class emergency and mobile healthcare across the state.

The first cohort of additional paramedics have joined teams at 13 stations across the state including Kangaroo Valley and Bomaderry.

Health Minister Ryan Park said, “By funding the 125 additional full-time paramedics, the NSW Government is delivering on its commitment to strengthen our health workforce in the bush.”
