Our St John WA team members are here to help, not to face violence or aggression. They deserve to feel safe. We shouldn’t have to say it.
Auslan Day 💛 Today we celebrate the language, culture and history of the Deaf community. Lauren, one of our paramedics, is currently learning Auslan and has shared some of her favourite signs to mark the day! We’re proud to partner with Convo Australia to provide Auslan video interpreting for the Deaf community and their families. #auslan #auslanday

Our littlest (and cutest) patients are now even safer ❤️ After giving birth on the side of the road, this paramedic knows just how critical those first moments can be. It’s cases like these where the right equipment can help save a baby’s life. Thanks to telethon for funding these potentially life-saving kits, helping us deliver the best care when it matters most. 🚑

Across Western Australia, healthier communities start with practical knowledge and strong local partnerships. Following the success of our first Walkabout Health Day in Leonora, we supported a second event in Karratha. Hosted by St John WA and supported by City of Karratha, Barnigu Waba Day (Ngarluma for “Be Healthy”) brought together local organisations to engage Pilbara primary students in hands-on learning around first aid, safety and wellbeing. Walkabout Days are a simple but powerful way to share practical, culturally grounded knowledge and build confidence in young people. ❤️ Mawarnkarra Health Service Anglicare WA WA Centre for Rural Health Karratha Health Campus WA Country Health Service The Ear Science Institute Australia Act Belong Commit City of Karratha Healthway Programmed #walkabout #behealthy #healthday
Given the confusion between St John and St John of God we are changing our name to St Jeff! ❤️
Reports of violence and aggression against our staff and volunteers increased by over 10% last year. They don’t deserve to feel afraid while helping WA. We shouldn’t have to say it.
Five clinics across Perth, here to help! ❤️ Visit St John in Osborne Park, Kelmscott, Midland, Cannington, Cockburn and Joondalup for accessible, trusted healthcare (Urgent Care, GP and Dental) close to home. 🏠 #urgentcare #dental #generalpractitioner
TC Narelle's exact path is still uncertain, but it is very likely that it's going to get wet and wild, with much of the southern half of WA likely to see impacts including heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts and dangerous conditions along the coast including large waves and coastal erosion. ⛈️ Now is a good time to prepare: •Review your cyclone plan •Check and replenish your First Aid kit •Get your required medications •Pack an emergency kit with food and water for at least 5-7 days •Secure loose items around your property •Download the First Responder app for First Aid guides Look after yourself and each other ❤️
Cardiac arrest doesn’t discriminate, but response sometimes does. Woman are 27% less likely to receive bystander CPR, often due to uncertainty. That’s why St John WA has introduced female CPR training manikins, building confidence through more realistic training. Because in an emergency, it’s simple. Start CPR. 🚑❤️
Looking for a First Aid kit? You can find St John first aid kits online, in-store and through a range of retailers across WA. #firstaid #firstaidkits
Last year, over 400 of our staff and volunteers reported incidents of violence and aggression. They don’t deserve to feel afraid while helping WA. We shouldn’t have to say it.
