About 100 ambulance officers have rallied outside a Gold Coast court this morning where the case of a man accused of assaulting a paramedic was mentioned.

Matthew Thielemans-Stirling, 25, allegedly assaulted an ambulance officer at Upper Coomera in December last year.

He is charged with serious assault of a public officer and common assault.

Thielemans-Stirling did not appear in the Southport Magistrates Court this morning, but about 100 emergency services officers gathered outside the building, rallying for harsher penalties for attackers.

A number of supporters held signs with slogans such as "enough is enough", "#ZeroTolerance" and "jail not bail".

Paramedic and member of the United Voice union, Kyla Golds, said officers did not want to have to carry weapons for their safety.

"We turn up to help people — we are there to protect our community — we don't want to go in armed," she said.

Instead she said better communication between paramedics and police was needed.

"I think we need to liaise better with police in circumstances so we feel safe to go into jobs," she said.

"Having alerts when we receive the job, that patients have been violent in the past, would be a massive help."

The matter was adjourned until February 4.
