St John ACT has a solid track record in the provision of first aid and pre-hospital care at state, national and international events including the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, World Police and Fire Games, major sporting venues, music festivals, public celebrations and other mass gatherings.
In addition to delivering a premier first aid service, St John ACT excels in public event health and safety research, leading projects in predictions of workloads, injury surveillance and models of health care provision at public events.
St John ACT plays a vital role in most state and territory emergency management plans. It has well developed working relationships with other key emergency service providers including Police, Ambulance and the Fire and Rescue Services.
Our first aid services volunteers are ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
