What our postgraduate students have to say

From emergency management to ambulance service

Nathan was never going to be satisfied working in an office. His drive to help those in desperate circumstances and ‘bring calm to chaos’ inspired him to step into a career in emergency management. In the Queensland State Emergency Service (EMQ), he was deployed to assist with disasters like Tropical Cyclone Yasi and the 2011 floods. He assisted with the search for missing persons and was flown in a Black Hawk helicopter to help those in rural communities across Queensland.

Keen to upskill whilst continuing his demanding work, Nathan chose to study a Graduate Diploma of Occupational Health and Safety, and then a Graduate Certificate in Disaster and Emergency Management with QUT Online.
