Kingaroy Ambulance Station has eight new faces on its work roster … enough for the station to be now officially running 24\/7.<\/p>\n

The eight staff members include two graduate paramedics who are completing their placement year \u2013 basically an internship \u2013 at Kingaroy QAS.<\/p>\n

The new staff members were introduced to members of the Kingaroy Local Ambulance Committee (LAC) on Friday night during a meet’n’greet at the Kingaroy Ambulance Station.<\/p>\n

The LAC is a support group for the Kingaroy QAS, organising fundraising to purchase training and other equipment for use in the station.<\/p>\n

LAC members also conduct CPR awareness-raising activities in the community.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Ambulance officer-in-charge Travis Cramb said the new workers meant the station now had 16 staff members, including himself.<\/p>\n

Most of the new team members began on March 7, although two had just come aboard.<\/p>\n

The station began its 24\/7 roster in March.<\/p>\n

“We have had a constant workflow for a long period of time,” Travis said.<\/p>\n

“The new roster will help with fatigue.”<\/p>\n

Three new members of the LAC were also inducted at Friday’s meet’n’greet: \u00a0Abigail Anderrson, Goodger; John Shaw, Kingaroy; and Cr Danita Potter.<\/p>\n
