Thirty new paramedics are coming to Nova Scotia from the country down in the next year.
According to a news release from the provincial government, Nova Scotia will welcome the new paramedics following Australia’s first-ever healthcare recruitment drive, which took place from February 26 to March 1. The first 13 workers will arrive in July and the rest will start in early 2025.
“The Province has identified Australia as a key recruitment market for critical roles in its health system, including doctors, paramedics, pharmacists, medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals, nurses and continuing care assistants,” the statement reads . “Many of these professions have accelerated licensing options for Australian healthcare workers.”
Health system partners participated in approximately 230 healthcare recruitment events in 2023 and 2024.
