| Abstract | Australian ambulance service culture has over the last 10 to 30 years moved from being male dominated to become more accepting of female paramedics. Stories and experiences of women in Australian paramedicine are anecdotal or largely unreported. The study will explore the experiences of female paramedics who have encountered the gradual feminisation of the ambulance service culture in Australia. First, an online survey will establish participant demographics, and explore experiences and perceptions about opportunities, challenges and advantages of female paramedics in a traditionally male orientated workplace. Second, qualitative methods and arts-based research will then build on the survey findings to explore the rich and deep experiences of women working in a historically male dominated profession. As no existing studies on the experiences of Australian female paramedics are available, this study has potential to generate new knowledge and to fill a gap in paramedicine literature. |
