St John WA

Sustainability starts with practical changes. We've introduced our first hybrid vehicles to the fleet with Community Transport Services (CTS) benefitting from the new additions. The new hybrid Kia Carnivals are expected to reduce fuel consumption by about 40% and are just one of the initiatives St John WA is implementing as part of the 2023–2026 Strategic Plan.

Congratulations to the first Ambulance Transport Officer cohort for 2025 on completing their course and joining the rest of the green team on road. 💚🚑

It's Heart Research month and helping to keep hearts pumping is the job of everyone, especially in a cardiac arrest emergency. Deputy Director of Paramedicine Andrew (Andy) Bell demonstrated how easy it is to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio in Perth yesterday and the difference it makes. The simple act of Call (Triple Zero - 000). Push (the chest sternum). Shock (with an AED) is vital in saving a life.

We work with many agencies across our great state in the service of humanity. Like the team at Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA) who help us transport patients across the vast expanse of WA. Teamwork like this makes the dream work. Thank you to Michael from #RFDS for the amazing image.
