St John WA announces inaugural Values Awards winners

At St John WA, we are guided by four core values: Lead with Heart, Think Team, Make it Better, and Walk the Talk.

These values are brought to life every day through the actions, choices, and spirit of our people.

Our values shape how we care for our communities, how we work together, and how we strive to improve.
