Caring for Territorians
With over 70 years’ experience as volunteers and 50 years providing the Northern Territory’s ambulance service, St John NT understands the challenges of delivering services across the Territory.
Our vast distances, tropical and desert environments as well as high levels of social disadvantage present a unique set of conditions which require a unique response.
Year on year we are responding to an increasing number of patients. In the2024-25 financial year, we experienced an almost 11% increase in Triple Zero (000) calls up from 91,638 to 101,5177. We transported over 44,000 patients to hospital and treated over 56,000 people.
Regardless, we continue to support major events showcasing and enhancing our communities and lifestyle.
Our volunteers completed over 20,000 duty hours and attended 669 events across the Territory. First aid training has seen a 28% increase in the number of people who have completed accredited first aid training and we provided over 7,000 classes in our community education program.
When we are not tending to people in their moment of need, we are there to ensure that support is nearby or providing people of all ages, from young children to the elderly, office professionals and trade workers, the confidence and skills to know what to do in a medical emergency.
