St John Ambulance SA Ltd Annual Report 2024-25

Our dedicated team of Historical Society volunteers work tirelessly to collect, manage, preserve and research artefacts that reflect the history of the Order of St John and St John Ambulance. Many of these elements are on display in the St John SA Historical Museum at Brighton, which is open for members of the public to enjoy. Coupled with the extensive knowledge our Historical Society volunteers have of St John SA, the museum is a treasure trove of St John international history and memorabilia that dates back to 900 years ago. Each year, a Historical Seminar is held where the St John Historical Societies across Australia gather and subsequently publish an annual journal. This journal holds a captivating record of the St John history that ensures these important stories and moments in time are documented for future generations to enjoy. 307 Museum visitors 27 Volunteer members 3,793 Volunteer hours contributed $191,547 Value of volunteer hours 3

3 The updated volunteer dollar replacement hourly rate figure for 2024/25 is $50.50 per hour and was provided by Volunteering SA/NT. The basis of this calculation is taken from the biannual Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) average weekly earnings figures for Australia. This methodology follows Associate Professor, Dr Lisel O’Dwyer’s (previously Prof Duncan Ironmonger) approach to calculating a dollar value figure for volunteering, and is one of the calculations that forms the overall value of volunteering figure.
