The Extended Care Paramedic (ECP) exists to enhance primary care accessibility and capacity by providing specialised acute care expertise within our multidisciplinary team. This role addresses the growing demand for same-day urgent care while reducing pressure on primary care resources and improving patient flow through the practice.

The position serves as a bridge between emergency care expertise and primary care delivery, utilising advanced paramedic skills to manage acute presentations that would otherwise require GP intervention or emergency department visits. By operating under established standing orders and/or clinician direction and delegation, the ECP extends our clinical capacity while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and care quality.

The role is designed to optimise patient outcomes through timely intervention, reduce healthcare system burden through appropriate care delivery in the primary care setting, and support practice sustainability by creating efficient care pathways for urgent presentations.

  • Specialist Paramedic registration (available from June 2025)
  • Current practicing certificate and professional indemnity insurance

Technical and Behavioural Experience

  • Must have worked as an Extended Care Paramedic with at least 1-2 years experience in a primary care or community environment
  • Demonstrated experience in developing, coordinating and completing quality improvement projects or similar activities on time and achieving the desired outcomes
  • Solutions focused & adaptable
  • Works well in a team and easily builds rapport amongst their team members and also has exceptional time management and communication skills
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, analytical, technology and organisational skills
  • Excellent judgement, diplomacy, discretion and initiative
  • Ability to work under pressure, exhibiting strong problem-solving skills

Skills and Abilities

  • Essential:
  • Previous experience working in an Extended Care Paramedic role
  • Cultural competency training and understanding of health equity principles
  • Desirable:
  • Previous experience in primary care or community health settings
  • Confident in using multiple technology platforms, and a willingness to learn and adapt
