It is a requirement of AV for applicant's applying for the Graduate Ambulance Paramedic program, to be currently undertaking or to have graduated from a recognised Ambulance qualification at an Australian or New Zealand University.
For a full list of recognised university courses please refer to our Paramedic University Courses page.
As a Graduate Ambulance Paramedic you will initially work under supervision of a clinical instructor who will assist you with the transition from the classroom to the ‘real world’ and integrate you into day-to-day team responsibilities and activities.
How and when are these positions advertised?
We advertise for Graduate Ambulance Paramedic positions once per year (usually early in the year) in the health section of The Age newspaper in Melbourne, Australia. Applications for our current intake, for a 2011 start, are now closed.

Ambulance Victoria does not offer "on the job training" or an "apprenticeship" structure unlike some other state services within Australia and overseas.
