Reconciliation-Action-Plan-St-John-Ambulance-SA

This was a Youth Development program run collaboratively between the 3rd Health Support Battalion (3 HSB) and St John Ambulance SA as part of a wider health outreach program which was specifically designed to support the Aboriginal community of Port Augusta. St John SA provided the qualification Apply First Aid to a group of nine year 11 and 12 Aboriginal students from the Port Augusta Secondary School as part of the youth development program. This qualification assisted in providing points towards their year 12 certificates. All nine students have an interest in a career in either nursing or paramedics.

St John Ambulance SA were proud to attend the Annual National Reconciliation Week Breakfast at the Adelaide Convention Centre, to launch National Reconciliation Week in South Australia. As our first time attending and alongside 1,700 other guests, we were excited to have the opportunity to recognise the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their history and culture, and acknowledge them as traditional owners of our land.

Aboriginal Spirit Colour Fun Run & Walk 2021 organised by Nunkuwarrin Yunti. Nunkuwarrin Yunti recognises that exposure to tobacco smoke is a health risk and recognises the negative impact smoking has on the health of the Aboriginal community. The Aboriginal Spirit Colour Fun Run & Walk 2021 is one of the many ways that Nunkuwarrin Yunti encourages people to be more physically active as part of quitting smoking and working towards being healthy.
