A terrifying medical emergency has turned into a heartwarming reunion after a St John WA Community First Responder reached young Shakira just three minutes after her mother, Jessie, called Triple Zero (000). When Shakira suffered a seizure at home, her mother Jessie called for an ambulance. While a crew was immediately dispatched, the call also activated the St John WA Community First Responder network St John WA Paramedic and Special Operations Manager Deane Coxall responded through the Community First Responder network, providing vital care and reassurance until the ambulance arrived a short while later. Shakira was transported to hospital for further treatment and has since made a full recovery. Jessie described the ordeal as one of the most frightening moments of her life and praised the Community First Responder app, saying it saves lives. The reunion highlights the life-saving difference the Community First Responder network can make in those critical first minutes of an emergency.

A Telstra network outage is currently affecting some phone calls and mobile services, which may also include calls to Triple Zero (000) from Telstra services. What to do: - Use a landline, Wi-Fi calling or another mobile network if available. - If your call doesn't connect, wait a few minutes and try again. - For non-urgent health concerns, use online services where available. - Check in on vulnerable family members, friends, neighbours or co-workers and offer support during the disruption. If you need urgent help and cannot make a call from your Telstra service, try using another phone or ask someone nearby to call emergency services on your behalf.

Over the weekend, our Academy kids headed off to State Camp! They had the opportunity to put everything they’ve been learning into practice during a competition-style day, responding to realistic emergency scenarios designed to test their skills, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure. Beyond the scenarios, they spent the weekend building lasting friendships, growing in confidence, and developing valuable life skills that will stay with them long after camp. State Camp is just one of the many incredible opportunities our Academy kids experience as part of the program, and we’re so proud of everything they achieved! 💚 #camp

🩹⏪ Stepping back in time! Our Northam St John Academy members swapped today’s equipment for a trip through history, exploring how first aid training and ambulance response have evolved over the years. St John Academy is all about learning life-saving skills, building confidence, making new friends and giving back to the community. This experience was a great reminder that while our uniforms and equipment have changed, our commitment to helping others has remained the same. 💚 Know someone aged 12–17 who'd love to be part of the adventure?

You asked the medical equipment tech one question about the Corpuls... and now it’s been 45 minutes. 🚑😂 To be fair, it is pretty impressive. The Corpuls is an advanced monitor our paramedics use to assess and monitor patients in an emergency. It tracks vital signs, monitors heart rhythms, performs 12-lead ECGs, and delivers defibrillation when needed.   It allows our crews to adapt quickly, helping them make informed decisions and provide the best possible care on scene and during transport. #ambulance #corpuls #ambulanceequipment #medicalequipment

Some stories come full circle. Twenty-seven years ago, paramedic Jim Deering helped deliver baby Kienan safely into the world. Last week, they met again. This time, Kienan was wearing the St John WA uniform as an Ambulance Transport Officer, following in Jim's footsteps and caring for patients across Perth. Jim retired last year after a career dedicated to helping others. By chance, Kienan is now working on Jim's former vehicle and shift – with many of Jim's former patients still sharing stories about the care he gave them. For Jim, it was a chance to see the next generation continue a tradition of service. For Kienan, it was an opportunity to thank the person who helped give him his start in life.
