VICTORIAN paramedics say they'll take stop-work action over their long-running pay dispute.

Paramedics have backed work bans, which their union says may include stop works, as part of the 20-month wages dispute.

Almost 1700 paramedics voted with 98 per cent of votes cast in favour of intensifying industrial action, the Ambulance Employees Association says.

"With this comprehensive vote for tougher action our members are sending the government a clear signal to get serious or deal with the consequences," state secretary Steve McGhie said on Monday.

Health Minister David Davis said the government and Ambulance Victoria had a significant offer of a six per cent upfront pay rise and two further tranches of three per cent, with a $1500 sign-on bonus.

"It's disappointing that the hardline ambulance union is determined to take industrial action," he told reporters.
