Being spat on, sworn at or physically assaulted is not in the ambulance job description and nor should it happen. That is the message to the Townsville community in a new campaign targeting abuse on the job. The Queensland Ambulance Service today launched the campaign calling on the community to respect staff, because “there’s no excuse for abuse”. Paramedics will share their stories of violence and abuse on the job. The Townsville region reported 54 cases of occupational violence to the 12 months to June 2018, up from 50 the previous year. Already 38 cases have been reported in the 2018-19 financial year.
