WESTERN AUSTRALIA — The union representing paramedics in Western Australia is demanding more trauma counselling following the reported suicide of two of its members.
A woman has written to the ABC saying a male paramedic with a young family and a 22-year-old woman have taken their lives in the past week.
She said many paramedics at St John, including a member of her family, have severe depression but are reluctant to seek support for fear of losing their jobs.
