Placement Opportunities with Medical Edge Australia
At HEED, we know that the best way to prepare for a career in emergency health care is by learning on the job. That’s why we’ve partnered with Medical Edge Australia, one of the country’s leading private ambulance and medical service providers, to give our students guaranteed* placement opportunities.
As part of this partnership, you’ll gain hands-on experience in Medical Edge’s robust events sector, from local community gatherings to high-profile events at the MCG and other major venues. Working alongside experienced clinicians, you’ll put your training into practice, build real-world confidence, and see firsthand the critical role emergency health professionals play when it matters most.
This guaranteed pathway ensures every HEED student graduates with both the qualifications and the experience to step directly into the workforce.
Conditions apply to the guaranteed placement with Medical Edge Australia. Placement is not available to students currently holding managerial roles within competing organisations. Students already employed or volunteering with another organisation are expected to complete their placement hours with that organisation. Placement availability is subject to geographical location and MEA’s operational areas. HEED Health Education and MEA will endeavour to provide access to placement shifts; however, students, particularly those in rural or remote areas, may be required to travel to access these placements.
Before attending Clinical Placement, students will be required to provide evidence of:
- Current Working with Children’s check
- Current CPR (HLTAID011/HLTAID003) and First Aid (HLTAID009) certificates
- National Police Clearance
- Flu and any other vaccination as required by the employer organisation
- Record of compliance with immunisation requirements
