About Paul Featherstone
Paul Featherstone is the Ambulance Paramedic renowned for his work in the rescue of Stuart Diver in the Mt Thredbo disaster in 1997, the Granville Train Disaster and most recently the Beaconsfield Mine Rescue.
Whether as a part of the team rescuing Stuart Diver; working with paramedics to save Kerry Packer’s life, white-water-rafting through the Nyngan floods, dangling out of helicopters or abseiling down cliffs Paul Featherstone has been in more life and death situations than he can remember.
Paul's presentation is not just about him, but about his team of fellow ambulance officers, who are called on to tackle some of the worst situations of human experience, and whose lives are totally geared to helping their fellow humans in crisis. He speaks about team work and camaraderie that has driven his life's work as a paramedic.
Paul Featherstone has spent the last 30 years perfecting skills in the recovery and care of people in life threatening situations. Joining the NSW Ambulance Service in 1972, Paul pioneered the Ambulance Service’s acclaimed Paramedic system in 1976. He conceived and developed the Special Casualty Access Team (S.C.A.T.) in 1986, and has since been a team leader in developing patient access methods and high levels of care under hostile environments.
Paul’s experience positions him as a specialist in crisis situation where lives may be at stake. These are situations where perfect planning, quick assessment and responses are critical for the prevention of injury. Paul has developed unique training methods in high-risk areas based on “real world” experience, with emphasis on self-motivation and teamwork.
Twice the recipient of the Ambulance Service’s highest award for bravery, the Distinguished Service Medal as well as the Australian Bravery Medal, the Humane Society’s bronze, silver and gold medals and the Prince Phillip Helicopter Rescue Award, Paul Featherstone is a man who can be depended on.
