When you join a St John First Aid Services team, you will receive a uniform which may include black and white attire, green overalls, a reflective jacket and personal protective equipment. You are required to wear the uniform when attending public events.

In addition to the induction and ongoing training, all St John volunteers can access the St John Peer Support Program, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We recognise that not all situations in first aid services are simple. Our qualified counsellors are available to provide timely and confidential support to St John Volunteers and their immediate families after difficult or overwhelming situations.
