We've introduced our first hybrid vehicles to the fleet with Community Transport Services (CTS) leading the way. The hybrid cars are expected to reduce fuel consumption by about 40% 😮, enabling us to better commit to fostering sustainability in everything we do. Learn more about the fleet and how CTS helps serve the community ⬇️. https://news.stjohnwa.com.au/driving-sustainability-community-transport-vehicles-go-hybrid/
Scared of using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? Deputy Director of Paramedicine Andy Bell demonstrates how defibrillators talk through the steps and how easy they are for anyone to use.

We know you've heard it a lot this summer, but we're in for another scorching week. 🥵 With temperatures set to crack the 40s, it's time to remember what we can do to beat the heat (or at least manage it). Remember to stay hydrated, stay inside where possible, seek shade if you must go outside, if you don't have access to air-conditioning check out your local community centres and libraries, and most importantly check in on the vulnerable people in your life.

When your boss tells you to write a social media post about yourself, the result is slightly awkward ... anyway, here goes! During my time at St John WA, I’ve been privileged to share stories of survival, even meeting a few survivors of sudden cardiac arrest along the way. People like James Mau who lives another day to continue his drives across the Nullarbor, and Joe Jeffries who continues to advocate for defibrillators at sporting grounds having survived not one, but two sudden cardiac arrests. Last year I set the goal of raising $1000 to go towards raising funds for community defibrillators, realising that it could be someone I love who needs one someday. So, I set about raising funds in the best way I know how, with a good old-fashioned bake sale, check out the results. ⬇️
Congratulations to Claire, Phil, and Abbey who have now completed their Australian Paramedical College - RTO 32513 (APC) Diploma in Emergency Health Care. 🚑 After being awarded the scholarship to study in 2022 all three have gone on to complete the Diploma and bring their learnings to their communities. The teams St John WA - Kalgoorlie-Boulder , St John WA - Kalbarri, and St John WA - Williams are so proud of their team members who continued to volunteer while undertaking their studies.
