Active in Australia for over 130 years, St John Ambulance is a self-funding, charitable organisation, dedicated to helping people in sickness, distress, suffering or danger. Providing services to a broad scope of the community, St John Ambulance supplies first aid services and training. Established in South Australia in 1885, St John included the state ambulance service in 1951. It later transitioned the service over to SA Ambulance Service in 1992 so that St John could once again focus on first aid provision, social inclusion and youth development.
