At ProMED Tasmania, we’re proud to help train the next generation of emergency healthcare workers. Through our long-standing partnership with Australian Paramedical College (APC), students completing the Diploma of Emergency Health Care do hands-on clinical placements at events and community settings across Tasmania.
Both organisations want students to reach the workforce with real clinical experience behind them.
Placement is where study turns into practice, and we want students doing more than watching.
APC students placed with ProMED are integrated into our operational teams and work alongside experienced clinicians, paramedics, and event medical professionals. Under close supervision, students are supported to:
Students apply what they’ve learned in class to real patients, which builds their clinical reasoning and judgement.
APC students get a wide variety of placements. ProMED Tasmania provides medical coverage at some of the state’s largest and most complex events, including major festivals, sporting events, and community activities.
Through these placements, students gain experience in:
That variety means students graduate having seen emergency care in many different settings.
Among the many APC students who have completed placements with ProMED, Emily and Tessa are outstanding examples of the dedication and professionalism we see across our student cohort.
Both have consistently demonstrated strong clinical aptitude, a willingness to learn, and a positive approach to every placement. From long shifts at major festivals to early starts at community events, they have embraced every opportunity to develop their skills and contribute to the team.
Working closely with senior clinicians, Emily and Tessa have built confidence in patient assessment, communication and teamwork.
Every student on placement with us is mentored by experienced clinicians, who enjoy teaching and take an active part in each student’s development.
Throughout placement, students are encouraged to:
Mentoring means students move from study to work with support around them.
For many students, clinical placement with ProMED Tasmania is also the first step into a job with us.
Students who demonstrate strong clinical skills, reliability, and alignment with our values are frequently offered opportunities for ongoing employment following graduation. This may include:
Taking on students early gives us staff who already know our systems, culture and standards of care.
Our partnership with APC also adds to Tasmania’s healthcare workforce. Graduates who complete placements with ProMED enter the workforce with:
That benefits the events and communities we support across the state, as well as our own team.
Our partnership with Australian Paramedical College continues to grow, with more placements and clear pathways into employment for students.
We’re proud of the students who train with us, the clinicians who mentor them, and the partnership that makes it possible.
ProMED Tasmania delivered its largest Dark Mofo coverage yet in 2026, staffing more than 80 shifts with a team of 28 clinicians, including paramedics, nurses and medics. Our crews kept festival-goers safe through the coldest weeks of the Tasmanian winter.
ProMED Tasmania has been officially granted its Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT) licence for low and medium-acuity transport by the Tasmanian Department of Health.
