Events that may require an Onsite Paramedical Service

Event organisers usually know from previous experience why they need a higher level of emergency care onsite. This need is reflected in the activity or risk of the event and the likelihood of accidents and/or illnesses.

Previous events can be a guideline as to this likelihood but it is best to cover all possible or projected risks by having a professional service onsite who can handle any emergency and call in further state resources if required.

FRA professional Paramedics and AEMTs are highly trained and fully equipped to cope with higher level emergencies and should be considered in the first instance in the Event Planning Stage. Events requiring an Onsite Paramedical Service include:

• Land based, motorised sporting or racing events, including motocross, car rallies, car racing, 4WD events and quad bikes

• Triathlons, Marathons and other running events

• Mountain Biking events, especially downhill racing

• Music festivals and outdoor carnivals

• Film Sets

• Horse riding/racing events and rodeos

• Cycling events

• Many other sporting events

By arrangement, FRA Advanced Care Paramedics and Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians can travel to other destinations across Australia and the Asia Pacific Region, to provide onsite services at industrial and commercial sites, including mine sites, oil rigs and large construction sites.
