The South Australian (SA) government has begun its recruitment of the 350 additional ambulance officers promised at the state election in March.

A new intern cohort of 32 paramedic graduates are set to start work on Monday, the first of 278 new paramedics and 72 new ambulance officers to be added to the SA ambulance service over four years.
