A new million-dollar safety alarm system will be rolled out to Gold Coast paramedics in an effort to curb violence.

The city's ambulances will be fitted with new covert duress systems as part of a state-wide mission to combat violence against paramedics.

A Gold Coast man was jailed after assaulting paramedic Brad Johnson in late 2015.

The system features a hidden camera that feeds footage from the back of the ambulance to the driver.

Queensland Ambulance Service assistant commissioner Dee Taylor-Dutton said the initiative would improve the ability to communicate in volatile situations.

"Violence in society is not acceptable, but it is definitely occurring against our frontline paramedics," she said.

"These duress monitoring systems were one means that we and our staff thought we could provide further assistance to our paramedics in order to keep them safe."

Ms Taylor-Dutton said the Gold Coast was one of the service's busiest areas in Queensland.

"We'll be able to very quickly see what's happening enough to be able to alert our communications system that police are required," she said.
