The ACT government says it will fund new full-time paramedic roles after a review last year revealed a desperate need for 83 more paramedics to ease pressure on the ambulance service.
The funding for additional paramedics includes 32 new roles, comprising 20 paramedics, six intensive care paramedics, and six operational support positions including ambulance educators, senior ambulance managers, a clinical simulation technician and more staff in the communications centre.
