A day after a man who bashed two paramedics was spared jail, one of the women who was assaulted claims her attacker has been treated as though he is the victim.

In the first test for Victoria's new mandatory sentencing laws, 22-year-old James Haberfield was on Wednesday handed treatment, monitoring and community orders.

He avoided the minimum six-month jail term for assaulting an on-duty emergency worker because Magistrate Simon Zebrowski said it "would have a disproportionate and catastrophic effect" on his future.

One of the paramedics, Monica, who did not want her surname published, said on Thursday that there had been no recognition of the catastrophic affects the assault had on her.
