Each year, St John SA has a positive impact on tens of thousands of South Australians through the provision of first aid at events, training and products, youth development and social inclusion programs. In times of State Emergency, such as bushfires and floods, St John SA volunteers can be called upon as part of the State Emergency Management Plan to provide support to other emergency services. The ongoing training and accreditation process our volunteers go through ensures that they are highly skilled and equipped to serve our community with the highest level of care at all times.
