At just 26 years old, 同性恋色情 paramedic Jaimik Chauhan has already become a vital link between pre-hospital emergency care and multicultural communities.

Born in Gujarat, India, and moving to Australia at age nine, Jaimik grew up navigating multiple languages and cultures from a young age, speaking Gujarati, Hindi and English.

Jaimik originally planned to study medicine and was accepted into James Cook University at 17, but he felt he was still too young to move away from the family home. He explored nursing, yet his interest in paramedicine kept growing until it became the clear path forward.

鈥淢y family has always supported my career, and they are proud of the work I do in the community,鈥� he said.

鈥淥ver the past few years, I have been involved in several significant clinical moments, including achieving return of spontaneous circulation for a cardiac arrest patient who recovered within days, and I have responded to two births. One involved a premature newborn resuscitation, and another was a breech delivery.鈥�

A case that has stayed with him involved a South Indian family experiencing a cardiac arrest at home. Two young adults were present, and no one had started CPR in the critical minutes before paramedics arrived, as they were unsure what to do. Sadly, it was too late to revive the patient. This experience has motivated Jaimik to educate his community about what CPR is and why it is vital for communities to learn.

Jaimik is passionate about improving health knowledge in culturally diverse communities, explaining that many Indian Australian families, for example, are unfamiliar with the role of paramedics in Australia. In India, paramedics are primarily a transport service, so people often do not realise that Australian paramedics provide advanced clinical care, make complex decisions and can treat many conditions without hospital transport. This misunderstanding can lead to hesitation, confusion or fear during emergencies.

To address this, Jaimik has started delivering community education sessions at his local temple in Pakenham. He teaches people when and how to call Triple Zero (000) for emergency pre-hospital care, what to expect if paramedics are required, and the services available including the VVED, Nurse-on-Call, and Urgent Care Clinics. He emphasises the importance of having medication lists and billing information ready and teaches CPR basics, stressing that anyone can do it. He believes that education delivered in a person鈥檚 own language is essential and can save lives.

Jaimik says patients often open up more when they see someone who understands their background or speaks their language, building trust quickly. His multilingual skills allow him to connect with people who might otherwise feel isolated or misunderstood in their emergency.

The moments that stay with him most are often the ones where language and culture played a crucial role.

鈥淥ne of my earliest realisations about the importance of language came during my first case as a solo officer,鈥� he said.

鈥淥ur patient had a simple ankle strain and spoke only Hindi. Hospital transfer was not required, yet being able to explain the situation in the patient鈥檚 own language transformed the interaction. The patient felt reassured, respected and fully informed.鈥�

Another case involved a patient from Afghanistan who was experiencing chest pain and spoke very limited English. Jaimik鈥檚 partner was trying to assess the pain, but the patient struggled to describe what he was feeling. The patient spoke Dari but understood some Hindi, and by switching languages, Jaimik was able to gather the information needed for a thorough assessment.

It turned out to be reflux rather than a cardiac event and the crew connected the patient with the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED) via video call, and access to the right medication, from the comfort of the patient鈥檚 home 鈥� avoiding an unnecessary hospital transport. Jaimik remembers how relieved the patient looked when someone spoke in a way he could understand.

Jaimik is a motivated and dedicated paramedic, driven by the desire to help people from a range of backgrounds and improve patient outcomes every day.

鈥淚 find the profession deeply rewarding and I cannot imagine doing anything else,鈥� he said.
