Ready for paramedicine that actually challenges you?
This isn't your standard roster.
This is high-acuity, broad-scope, real-world paramedicine — and it will take your career further.
Why Katherine? Why the NT?

Just three hours from Darwin, Katherine offers the best of both worlds — a close-knit regional community with easy access to the Territory's capital, while putting you on the doorstep of some of the NT's most spectacular natural attractions.
