Abstract
Paramedics originate from diverse backgrounds; however, minority groups remain underrepresented, disadvantaged and discriminated in the job. Racism experienced by paramedics is largely unexamined, with its form, frequency and perpetrators unknown. This study aimed to report on the impact of lived and witnessed racism by paramedics working in Australia. Pavani will be telling the stories of paramedics from across the country who have experienced or witnessed everyday racism on the job. This session will discuss how and why these incidences continue to occur by exploring the training, culture, environment and support systems available to Australian paramedics.
