St John Ambulance Australia (Victoria)

St John Ambulance Victoria is a charitable, not-for-profit organisation established in 1883, dedicated to “the service of humanity.” Operating across Victoria, it delivers first-aid training, event health services, non-emergency patient transport, and community resilience programs, supported by a mix of paid staff and thousands of volunteers. While self-funding through commercial activities such as first-aid training and equipment sales, profits are reinvested into community programs and public health initiatives. Governed by a board and executive team, St John Victoria plays a key role in Victoria’s emergency management framework, aiming to build safer, more resilient communities through education, care, and advocacy.
