\u201cThis is the 7th class of NSW Ambulance graduates this year and I\u2019m proud to see them graduate to serve their communities,\u201d Mr Park said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur paramedics are on the frontline of healthcare in NSW, caring for people when they are at their sickest and most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know these new recruits will continue this tradition of dedication and service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NSW Ambulance Chief Executive Dr Dominic Morgan welcomed the new starters, who were welcomed and honoured at a ceremony at Sydney Olympic Park, attended by family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know all who are graduating today have worked incredibly hard throughout their training,\u201d Dr Morgan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thank them for their commitment and warmly welcome them into NSW Ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
