The Torres Strait is a unique environment to work as a paramedic.
The region is home to a series of islands scattered over a stretch of ocean spanning 48,000 square kilometres from the tip of Queensland s Cape York, towards Papua New Guinea, and over to Indonesia.
Most of the staff at the Thursday Island ambulance station, where the area s main hospital is located, are trained to fly on a rescue helicopter.
On a busy day, the flight paramedics could be required to do back-to-back jobs across the 18 inhabited islands.
They, along with the helicopters, are on standby 24 hours a day.

Ride with Tommy for stroke survivors
Smashing adversity and surpassing goals is second nature to stroke survivor Tommy Quick. Now the VU alum is going places to help improve the lives of others, raising money in a never-before attempted ride to the four most extreme points of Australia.
Since the age of 12 when he suffered a massive stroke, Tommy has relentlessly pushed towards his goals. After recently earning his Bachelor of Human Nutrition at VU, Tommy is now focused on his next challenge: the ride of his life to raise vital funds and awareness for stroke survivors.
Waking after five weeks in an induced coma, Tommy had to learn to swallow, walk and talk again. It was a long and tough recovery that continues to this day.
