Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions wants a man sent to jail for his attack on paramedics after taking a "cornucopia" of drugs at a music festival.

James Haberfield, 22, became the first person under new Victorian laws to be slapped with mandatory treatment and monitoring for offenders who attack emergency workers, but he avoided the minimum six-month jail term.

The decision was widely criticised by the paramedics, Ambulance Victoria, the ambulance workers' union, the public and the state government, with Premier Daniel Andrews urging Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd, QC, to appeal the sentence.

"Our thoughts are with the victims of this completely unacceptable attack," Mr Andrews said following the verdict last month.
