Sally Hasler says it well. Meanwhile I have been in contact with key policymakers Australia-wide to take up the recommendations of the Victorian report. The evidence base is overwhelming & there's no point in re-inventing the wheel. It's time for action.

Australian women having a cardiac arrest are less likely to:
🩷 Have the arrest recognised in the 000 call,
🩷 Receive bystander CPR and an AED shock,
🩷 Receive ALS interventions and post-resuscitation care,
🩷 Survive to hospital discharge.

The Australasian Paramedic Workforce Survey showed a great desire for flexibility in the workplace; a reduction in time pressures.
Also, 34% of paramedics now work outside of a jurisdictional ambulance service!

This highlights perfectly what paramedics and @VicAmboUnion are trying to achieve, an EBA that delivers conditions to improve work life balance conducive of a family. It also highlights that if not, we will leave @JacintaAllanMP #springst #ambosdeservealifetoo

29% of respondents used hormonal contraception to make it easier to work in the paramedic environment.
Thank you @Lisa_Hobbs_ for contextualising working conditions.
