From single-day commercials and TVC shoots to long-running drama series, feature films, and reality productions, we keep your cast and crew safe — and your productions looking authentic. Our team of AHPRA-registered paramedics, nurses, and advanced medics are experienced in the unique demands of film and television environments, delivering clinical-grade care without disrupting your schedule.
Whether you need a standby paramedic for a film set, a qualified on-set medic for a TV production, authentic medical props for hire, or medical consumables delivered directly to set — Onset Health has you covered nationwide, including remote, regional, and international locations. We work with production companies, studios, location managers, and line producers across every state and territory in Australia.
Our film set medical services are trusted by productions of all sizes — from independent short films and student productions to major network series and international co-productions. We understand that no two shoots are the same, which is why we offer flexible daily bookings, long-term seasonal attachments, and fully scalable medical team deployments tailored to your risk profile and production schedule.
In addition to our standby medic and paramedic hire services, Onset Health operates a curated medical prop rental library stocked with authentic and replica clinical equipment — defibrillators, stretchers, oxygen systems, IV setups, surgical instruments, and more — to bring genuine realism to your screen. Our online medical supplies shop also allows production teams to purchase consumables and props for direct delivery anywhere in Australia, making Onset Health your single-source solution for on-set medical coverage, prop authenticity, and supply logistics.
