Bachelor of Science (Paramedicine)

Curtin is currently undergoing an assessment for this program to be accredited by the Paramedicine Accreditation Committee and approved by the Paramedicine Board of Australia.

You'll utilise simulation laboratories and engage in high-fidelity simulation exercises, including Curtin's 'simulance' vehicle and the Juniper simulation suite, which is set up like someone's home. You'll then complete clinical placements and simulation exercises with ambulance, emergency and healthcare services, and may also participate in further, optional training and agency placements.

To undertake fieldwork placements, you must meet the following requirements: student declaration, AHPRA registration, criminal record screening and clearance, immunisation, first aid, hand hygiene, manual handling, working with children check, and criminal record screening and clearance.

The course is suitable for those who are new to paramedicine and professionals in emergency services or healthcare who want to advance their current career. You'll be taught by paramedics with expertise in emergency ambulance settings, tactical operations, rescue services, rural/remote practice and industrial contexts.

This course requires a minimum ATAR/Selection Rank of 75 to be considered for entry, but does not guarantee selection. As this course is subject to quota, applications may be competitive.
