Casual
Want to gain real-world patient experience while working at some incredible events across ACT and surrounds?
Get First Aid is looking for Event Medics and First Responders to join our growing Canberra Team team.
From sporting events and endurance races to festivals, community events and major events, no two shifts are quite the same.
Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a Paramedicine student looking to build confidence before entering ambulance practice, this is an opportunity to put your skills into practice in the event environment.
Who we’re looking for
- Year 2 and above Paramedicine students
- Certificate IV in Health Care graduates
- Diploma of Emergency Health Care graduates
- Those with an equivalent or higher healthcare qualification
- Experienced First Responders and healthcare professionals
Your qualifications, experience and competency will determine the clinical role and scope you are appointed to.
Paramedicine students – we want to hear from you!
If you’re Year 2 or above, we encourage you to apply.
We understand there’s a big difference between learning at university and gaining confidence dealing with real patients.
We’re flexible around university and placement commitments and want to give students the opportunity to gain more hands‑on patient experience before making the jump into ambulance practice.
Event medical work can help you build confidence in patient communication, observations, assessments, clinical reasoning and documentation while always working within your approved scope.
What you’ll be doing
Depending on your role and the event, you may be:
- Providing first aid and event medical care
- Assessing and managing patients within your scope
- Responding to incidents across event sites
- Communicating with event organisers and emergency services when required
- Working independently or as part of a larger medical team
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for people who are reliable, professional, compassionate and confident communicating with patients.
You need to know your scope, recognise your limitations and know when to escape.
Our GFA values are:
Reliability | Professional Excellence | Compassion in Action | Teamwork & Community
Your application – PLEASE READ
A tailored cover letter is MANDATORY.
Your cover letter must specifically tell us:
How you align with the Get First Aid values
What you will bring to the GFA team

If you’re a Paramedicine student, your current year of study
We don’t want a generic cover letter. We want to know who you are, why you want to join GFA and what you can bring to our team.
Applications without a cover letter will NOT be selected to continue through the recruitment process.
