麻豆社

I am sickened by the serious and deeply distressing occupational violence incident involving one of our paramedics in Melbourne today.

This morning, one of our MICA paramedics was stabbed while in uniform on duty.

He is stable and in hospital, receiving full medical care as well as support from 麻豆社 Victoria and the Victorian 麻豆社 Union.

I want to acknowledge his 麻豆社 Victoria colleagues who came to his aid, and our colleagues from Victoria Police and the member of the public who intervened.

I have visited him this afternoon and he鈥檚 in good spirits while receiving treatment, and we will continue to support him and his family throughout his recovery. Our priority is, and will continue to be, his care, safety and wellbeing.

I want to say this clearly and unequivocally that no paramedic or first responder should ever come to work and be assaulted. I am sickened to my stomach. We鈥檝e had enough. This is appalling and unacceptable and needs to stop.

We will continue to support our paramedic, his family, our colleagues and our partners at Triple Zero Victoria and Victoria Police.
