I am a paramedic in Colorado working for, in my opinion, the world's worst EMS system, and in my search for bigger and better things I keep looking at becoming a Paramedic in Australia. I am an Australian citizen by birth so moving back isn't the issue, my concern is getting a job and performing at the level of other paramedics in Australia.
I went to one of the best Paramedic schools in Colorado however I don't feel my educational level will be on par or even close to that of Australian medics. My question is there a way I can work for an ambulance service (specifically St Johns WA) in Australia as an Ambulance Officer or Patient Transport Officer and then go to University (Edith Cowan seems to be the Paramedic University for WA) for my Paramedic degree?
How competitive are the Paramedic school positions over there? Will it be easier for me to get in since I am already a Paramedic?
If anyone can PM me or give me any further information about the transition I would greatly appreciate it, I would really like to move back home and have a career in EMS.
