Course outline

This course recognises the rapidly changing nature of paramedicine. It is critical that paramedicine expand its scope and role nationally and internationally. Students within this course will draw upon the interdisciplinary nature of paramedicine and emergency and disaster management to explore current and emerging trends and national and international approaches, as well as the key concepts and perspectives that underpin contemporary practice in these fields. Students will study with other students from a broad range of disciplines, expand their knowledge and skills and learn to apply this to the various phases of managing prehospital patients and expand on their role to encompass emergency and disaster management. Students can enjoy the option to study this course online or on campus. Online students will be required to attend compulsory residential schools for several units throughout the course. Residential schools may be held in Cairns, Townsville or Rockhampton. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Paramedic Science/Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management.

Note

This course has strict enrolment requirements. Successful applicants must accept the offer and enrol in units with CQU by the date stated on the offer letter. If you fail to do so, or if you withdraw from your units within this course, your offer will be revoked. This requirement applies irrespective of whether you accepted conditionally or unconditionally in your QTAC application.

Other requirements

Online students will be required to attend compulsory residential schools for several units throughout the course. Residential schools may be held in Cairns, Townsville or Rockhampton. Students are also required to undertake compulsory work-integrated-learning placements with an approved placement provider. Mandatory health requirements include a medical assessment process, immunisation and vaccination evidence (and serology where required) for the following diseases: Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps and Rubella, Varicella, Pertussis, Influenza, and Tuberculosis screening. Effective 25 September 2023, updates have been made to the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for Queensland Health sites and the Queensland Ambulance Service. While Queensland Health does not currently mandate evidence of COVID-19 vaccination, it’s essential to recognise that other organisations may enforce their own vaccination specific criteria. This situation is similar across other states and territories, with the exception of Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, where COVID-19 vaccination is mandatory for all healthcare students.
