THE Victorian opposition and the ambulance union have criticised state government advertisements labelling a pay offer to paramedics as "generous", saying they are a waste of money.

The full-page advertisement ran in a number of newspapers on Friday with a message from Health Minister David Davis as a pay dispute continues.

This is the second time that the advertisements have run this month.

Ambulance Employees Australia state secretary Steve McGhie says the ads are a waste of taxpayer dollars.

"We believe it is a misuse of money," Mr McGhie told AAP.

"The minister would be better off focusing on trying to resolve this dispute, given negotiations are ongoing and scheduled in January."

Premier Denis Napthine said the advertisements are intended to put out community information about the offer.

"It's important we inform paramedics directly, their families and the broader community of the pay offer, the fair and reasonable pay offer we've put on the table," Dr Napthine told reporters on Friday.

Paramedics are being offered a 6 per cent pay rise and a $1,500 bonus if they sign the deal by January.

Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino says one ad would pay a full-time paramedic's wage for a year,

"These full-page ads are costing Victorians hundreds of thousands of dollars," Mr Merlino told reporters on Friday.

Mr Merlino said the government needed to negotiate in good faith with paramedics rather than put ads in the paper.
