Sunraysia Community Health Service (SCHS) is a dynamic organisation promoting health, wellbeing and independence in a social model of health. The organisation is a source of primary and preventive care for our community members who are at risk of poor health outcomes, and experience acute health disparities. SCHS understands the influence of the Social Determinants of Health upon health inequities experienced by community members and work with consumers and community members, to structure their care around the context in which they live and work.
We welcome applications from Paramedics interested in extending their scope of practice into the community health setting.
The Program
Community Paramedicine (CP) is a proven model of care where paramedics utilise their skill set outside an emergency medicine setting, to collaboratively support people with chronic disease management and prevention, health promotion and primary healthcare navigation in the community. The Community Paramedic is part of the Community Services Team who provide assertive outreach within the community to support people to access health and wellbeing services that improve their health outcomes, combining a social health focus with primary health care to overcome the specific SDoH impacting them.
