How much does a mine medic make?

Mine medics or mine paramedics in Australia earn between $80,000-120 000 per year as a salary, but can be much higher depeding on additional allowances, such as overtime, rescue/danger, living away from home allowances and additional roles, such as fire response, rescue response, and security.

Most mine medics in Australia are employed as primary first aiders (with higher skills and medical abilities/ knowledge), but they also serve a secondary role. In some mines, this means being the Store Person as well as the medic. At the other end of the spectrum, some mines employe Occupational Health and Safety Officers (OH&S) who are also trained paramedics or medics. Some of these people can earn much higher wages into the $140-50, 000 bracket.
