These experiences allow the student to demonstrate professional competencies required to practice as a registered paramedic at the completion of their course.

Thank you for your interest in working with both students and staff at Charles Sturt University. We appreciate your commitment to the future generation of paramedic professionals, and in ensuring we produce graduates of a high standard who are ready to undertake safe and competent clinical practice.
