A 19-YEAR-old Australian is recovering in hospital after being shot during the Paris massacre.
Emma Parkinson's family said she was shot at the Bataclan theatre when four gunmen opened fire on concertgoers who had turned out to watch US rock band Eagles of Death Metal. 
Ms Parkinson's family told the Nine Network the teenager was currently in hospital but her condition was unknown.
Ms Parkinson was believed to have been shot from behind, and her injuries were not life threatening.
The student has been living and studying abroad.
Earlier, Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop confirmed she was aware one Australian had been injured in the attacks and the department was offering the injured person consular assistance.
"The Australian Government is continuing to work with French authorities to identify any other Australians who may be affected," she said.
There were no reports last night of any Australians among the dead. DFAT estimates about 2500 Australians are in the French capital.
Ms Parkinson's friend, Kate Rees, wrote on Facebook she would be visiting the hospital today. "She's not alone in Paris," she said.
Midnight Oil producer, Australian Nick Launay, was working with the Eagles of Death Metal in Paris and was also swept up in the attacks.
Yesterday, he confirmed with friends he was OK.
A group of Melbourne students attending a camp run by author John Marsden were lucky to avoid the massacre.
Mr Marsden told the Herald Sun the group of nine year 10 students from the Macedon Ranges had spent the week in Paris but were en route to the airport when hell broke loose.
"When you hear there are explosions at rock concerts and football matches, they are exactly the kind of things the students are likely to be at," he said. "I felt pretty sick about it." Mr Marsden said the students were hoping to arrive home tomorrow. Tasmanian teenager Lauren Walker narrowly avoided the tragedy after making a last-minute decision to walk away from a restaurant attacked by terrorists.
Ms Walker, 19, and several of her Tasmanian friends were close to the Le Petit Cambodge where up to 14 people were killed. "They had considered going to the cafe that's been involved for dinner last night," her mother Susan Walker said.
"They decided not to and to eat in because a guy that met up with them was really tired." Expat Australian healthcare worker Emma Pike had just returned from watching the new James Bond film and was unaware of the drama just 500m away.
She was alerted by her father, who sent her a text message from Adelaide."Then my phone exploded with people texting me," Ms Pike said.
