At ProMED Tasmania, we are proud to play an active role in developing the next generation of emergency healthcare professionals. Through our long-standing partnership with Australian Paramedical College (APC), students completing the Diploma of Emergency Healthcare are given the opportunity to undertake meaningful, hands-on clinical placements across a wide range of events and community settings throughout Tasmania.
This partnership reflects our shared commitment to high-quality education, strong clinical governance, and preparing students for real-world healthcare environments.
Clinical placement is one of the most important stages in a student’s development. At ProMED Tasmania, we aim to ensure that placements go beyond observation and provide genuine learning opportunities.
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:
This hands-on exposure allows students to apply classroom learning in real situations, strengthening their clinical reasoning and professional judgement.
One of the key strengths of our partnership with APC is the variety of placements available to students. 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:
This diversity ensures students graduate with a broad skill set and an understanding of how emergency healthcare operates in different contexts.
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, showing exactly what is possible when students are supported in a real clinical environment.
A defining feature of ProMED Tasmania placements is the mentorship students receive. Our clinicians are passionate about teaching and take an active role in supporting student development.
Throughout placement, students are encouraged to:
This mentorship model helps bridge the gap between study and practice, ensuring students feel supported as they transition into the workforce.
For many students, clinical placement with ProMED Tasmania is more than a learning experience. It is often the first step in a professional career within our organisation.
Students who demonstrate strong clinical skills, reliability, and alignment with our values are frequently offered opportunities for ongoing employment following graduation. This may include:
By investing in students early, we are able to build a skilled, committed workforce that understands our systems, culture, and standards of care.
Our partnership with APC contributes directly to the strength of Tasmania’s healthcare sector. Graduates who complete placements with ProMED enter the workforce with:
This benefits not only our organisation, but also the communities and events we support across the state.
ProMED Tasmania remains committed to supporting students, educators, and industry partners in delivering high-quality emergency healthcare education and training.
Our collaboration with Australian Paramedical College continues to grow, providing students with valuable placement opportunities and clear pathways into employment. Together, we are building a workforce that is skilled, compassionate, and ready to meet the challenges of modern emergency care.
We are proud of the students who train with us, the clinicians who mentor them, and the partnership that makes it all 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.
