This initiative complements the University's collaborative partnership with Queensland Ambulance Service to establish a ‘study/educational hub' within QAS facilities at Cairns Ambulance Station.

Program leader Anthony Weber says the partnership is being arranged with the QAS Far Northern Region.

"In order to provide the best opportunity to students participating in flexible mode study for the Bachelor of Paramedic Science program, this hub will widen the reach of education to Northern Region and Far Northern Region students and enhance quality of education, through face to face practical application of education with QAS educators," Mr Weber says.
