A trusted and reassuring presence in the Victorian community for more than 138 years, St John Ambulance Victoria is a work of the Order of St John in Australia. We look to the future as a vibrant and strong organisation which exists to help those in our community who are in sickness, distress, suffering or danger.
Our desire is to serve the community further, deliver the best care possible and be a place where people are inspired to volunteer and work. We support our charitable work through a strong and diversified commercial operation, operating as a certified Social Enterprise.
With extensive numbers of volunteers, staff, vehicles, equipment, branches and facilities, St John is well placed to provide support to the Victorian community through crises such as bushfires, floods and pandemics.
All our earnings from our paid programs – including First Aid training and the presence of our ‘vollies in green’ at public events – goes towards life-saving community programs.
Our activities and programs build resilience in and give confidence to the communities which we serve.
