Tasmania's Paramedics demand change

Posted on 23 April, 2026

HACSU Vodcast

Paramedics show up for us every single day, often exhausted, often understaffed. Community Paramedic Gabby says it plainly: what we have right now is not sustainable.

That's why Ambulance Tasmania staff are currently taking industrial action, standing up for fairer pay, rosters, and conditions. They deserve better. So does the community.

For more information about this or any other industrial matter, members should contact HACSUassist on 1300 880 032 or email [email protected] or complete our online contact form
