What is PARA3001 about?

This unit explores the complexities of high-threat and major incidents, including their societal impacts and the challenges they pose to personal well-being. Beginning with an overview of major incidents and the phases of emergency management, students will critically examine the roles and responsibilities of government, emergency, and non-government organisations in disaster response, focusing on interagency collaboration and the specific duties of paramedics within these organisations. Students will analyse the societal and personal impacts of major incidents, evaluating their professional and ethical responsibilities to mitigate harm while considering how disasters may affect their own well-being. The unit concludes with an exploration of historical and contemporary approaches to paramedic well-being, incorporating evidence-based strategies to build personal resilience and maintain professional capacity in high-pressure contexts.
