Two paramedic interns have officially been inducted to the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health 
District.

It comes as NSW Ambulance has welcomed 23 new paramedic interns across the state.

They join 495 paramedics who have begun roles with NSW Ambulance this year so far.

These new recruits will further boost frontline health services in Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District.

The paramedic interns will be posted to complete the on-road portion of their 12-month internships before taking permanent positions in metropolitan and regional areas.

The Minns Labor Government is committed to supporting our paramedic workforce, investing in a 
record pay increase for paramedics in December making them among the highest paid in the country 
and rolling out of 500 additional paramedics in regional, rural, and remote communities.
