Re: NSW Ambulance service
hi guys and gals,
does anyone know of any techs that have applied for nsw,had a look on the nsw website says they can apply tho need 3years experience not including prob year which will hold me up anyway for a few months yet,and what is the 600 questions thing guess it would be different ??? for para to tech level anyone with any knowledge or info would be much appreciated:) |
Re: NSW Ambulance service
The 600 questions is a Psychometric test used I think to profile your personality. Once its completed I it gets sent to Brisbane to be assessed and feedback is sent to ASNSW ,in my case this formed some of the structure for the interview. It's one of those tests where the same question is asked in different ways at various stages to make sure you answer truthfully.
I believe all recruits into ASNSW complete all parts of the testing process prior to being accepted i.e. fresh off the street or UK Qualified looking to transfer. Hope that helps. |
Re: NSW Ambulance service
OK, I have a question for those who have been through the process of NSWAS application.
Under "Ambulance/ EMS/ Paramedic Education", how did you work out and document your classroom hours, clinical hours, field/ practicum hours? I know other countries quote this as part of their courses but this isn't a routine measurement in the UK. Many thanks! |
Re: NSW Ambulance service
Personally I think I took the number of hours (37.5) spent in class during the week multiplied it by the number of weeks I was on both my Tech course and my Paramedic course. For the clinical I did the same but over the four weeks I spent in hospital placements, not sure about the on the road bit. I think I explained that once the clinical placement was completed that was us signed off. Might have included my year on the road as a Trainee Tech. Hope that helps.

Re: NSW Ambulance service
Hi, For all those of you who have gone through the application process, how long did it take for them to get back to you after your application was presented to the RPL board.
I was told mine was being presented in early May and have still not heard back. Is this normal? |
Re: NSW Ambulance service
On october of last year they'd asked me for my evidence of my HPC cert for RPL, had assessments etc around Nov time, my actual RPL Cert (for visa purposes) was dated March of this year. I don't think there's any hard and fast rules. Best bet would be to contact them by phone. Good luck.

Hi
After the interview I had to wait while they supposedly organised my driving assessment. Anyway half an hour later they came out, I was signed of a pass for the driving and offered the position of Intensive Care Paramedic, start the induction course in October 2008. I was there for ten days, arrived on a sunday, monday was a bank holiday, tuesday was psycometric testing, wednesday fitness, that 42cm step is a killer:blink:, and Friday was the interview/driving. Very friendly and helpful people. Now just waiting for my written job offer to arrive. John Just read your starting your induction course in Oct 2008, which is the induction course I have been posted for, will you be doing that at Rozelle? My visa process has only just started so hopefully should still be in time for the 27th Oct start. May see you there. ellie |

Hi there I was interviewed in Nov 2007 and they told me my rPL level there and then. They have been quite slow at getting back to me on other things, so I phone them and this generally prompts them. Have you had your interview yet?
No, have not had interview yet. I will have to give them a ring this week I think. Best of luck for Oct! |

Re: NSW Ambulance service
Well personally:
Submitted and expression of interest in Feb '07. Reply from ASNSW in Apr '07. Went to Sydney in Nov '07 for 3 day assessments (told I'd been successful at the end of interview but that offical news would follow pending checks etc). There was a lot of sending and requests and sending of form at this point. Recieved email informing me that letter or offer had been mailed to me Mar'08. Submitted my 120visa in Jul '08 form 47ES. Waiting on reply from Dept of Immi. hope that helps someone have an idea of timescales.:) |
