St John is the leading provider of first aid and paramedic services in the Northern Territory, delivering day-to-day emergency care, providing volunteer first aiders and high quality first aid products, equipment and training. We are a self-funded charity directly linked to the Order of St John which is a long established global organisation that can trace its roots back over 900 years. The organi

sation has been in Australia since the 1800s and in Darwin since the 1950s. We work hard to build resilience in the NT community through everything that we do. From teaching first aid to restocking first aid kits, through to our paramedics and volunteers and their service to the community. We undertake important projects such as Community Education and First Aid in schools where we provide free non-accredited first aid training to remote communities, new parents and in schools, as well a Public Access Defibrillator project where we aim to have 1,000 public access defibs in the community by the end of 2021. As a charity, all profits from our products and services, such as first aid training, first aid kits or patient transfers, are put straight back into the community through our volunteer program.

Day 3 of Operation Readiness Week meant a whole new challenge for our ICP interns!

They joined NT Fire and Rescue Service for a simulated car crash rescue, managing and treating two patients while working alongside fire crews to safely navigate the scene.

See how they handled it 👀👇

We’ve had an unexpected visitor!

Left behind at Pitch Black, this cuddly companion has been keeping busy at the St John NT office, making friends and checking out all our first aid kits!

But now it’s time to head home to their favourite person.

This week, our ICP interns are putting their training to the test through a series of complex operational scenarios.

Today they tackled vertical rescue and cliffside casualty scenarios alongside NT Emergency Service volunteers, putting their new clinical knowledge, communication and decision-making into practice.

Alice Springs paramedic and ICP intern Justin Houben said, ‘the scenarios may be simulated, but the pressure, decision-making and teamwork are very real!’

As part of Operational Readiness Week, the group will take on road crash, water rescue, extrication, aeromedical retrieval scenarios and more, working with our fellow Territory emergency and specialist response agencies.

There’s more to the Beer Can Regatta than beer cans and boats!

This year, the Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta Inc. committee raised $10,000 for St John NT volunteers, helping us provide the essential PPE they need when they’re out supporting community events across the Territory from high-vis vests to sun-safe headwear.

Thank you to the Darwin Lions and everyone who helped make it happen! 💚
