Hello all Just letting those who would be interested know that there will be a second Trainee Paramedic intake this year in the Northern Territory. It'll be a June 2010 start and rumours are that this will be a huge intake e.g. 15+ people. We just had about 17 people including a few volunteers just ...

Maybe it was just one person in a response car and they were waiting for backup to transport??? From what you say i'm guessing royal life were providing first aid and then they called this lot to transport. I wouldn't think even a private service would provide just one person to cover a music festival

One up as in only one crew member or they already had a patient on board?
What event was this?

Should you get a parking fine if your vehicle is too big to fit into parking spaces?

Anyone hear of West Coast Ambulance. They are advertising for people on the link below and say they are based in the southern suburbs. Is is Metropolitan Ambulance Service rebranded????? http://www.seek.com.au/job/b-ambulance-b-officers-paramedics-patient-transfer-officers-first-aid/perth-south/1655...

NT Aeromedical Service is currently run by Pearl Aviation but the contract went out to tender a couple of weeks ago (just before or after Christmas if I remember right). Air med only do the northern half of the territory. RFDS have the southern half.

Wow looks really impressive. I know career police/fire/ambulance service stations that aren't that good. Very lucky.

I used to live right opposite there on Dreyer Way many years ago. It went up probably about 15-20 years ago aswell. Nice to see they haven't developed it and just turned it into a big block of housing.

I have seen AFP attend/handle a crash that occured on airport land in the NT as this is their jurisdiction

You're retrieval team now G. Moving up in the world I see. I can remember the days before the retrieval team started.

Just noticed the SJA mudflaps on the rear wheels are still there. Lol

I believe from when we did some training out with Aviation Fire Fighting and Rescue that they are able to respond to incidents within a 1km radius of the airport but depending on the type and size of aircraft that are moving about the airport they have to have a certain level of coverage. So if they...

Over here it's quite usual to have a back up crew go on a priority 1 to a resus. Gets more hands there quickly to carry equipment, help with patient extrication etc. G i think you might find that resus was Nov 2007 unless you've had another one since I've been gone. (PS to anyone who will say how wi...

There was an interesting case here in the NT where a person drove off after an accident due to violence from bystanders and great personal threat to life from them. Believe it was a car vs pedestrian and there quite a few angry relatives. The courts accepted this was an appropriate thing to do due t...
