Re: Queensland Ambulance Service

We weren't told our base station until the first day of our induction course. That was in September last year however so don't know if it is different now.

Tailgating!!! What is the point?

One of the first things I realised when I arrived in Australia was the horrendous amount of tailgating that goes on. Not just 'white van man' or 'sales rep' like in England, but people of any age or...

Re: Queensland Ambulance Service

I agree that it must depend on what area you work in. When I started in the Sunshine Coast, I didn't find out which was my base station until the first day of our induction. It has however been my...

Re: Queensland Ambulance Service

You can't transfer your NHS pension directly into the QAS superannuation as it is not on the list of recognised pension schemes that the NHS will allow you to transfer to. There are however some...

Re: Anyone fancy a kickabout sunshine coast?
