First Aid for All Territorians
St John Ambulance Australia (NT) Inc. (St John NT) is the Territory’s leading provider in emergency medical response and preparedness. We have a mission to save lives and build community resilience to improve the safety and healthcare for all Territorians.
We do this by providing a range of services from ambulance services under contract to the Northern Territory Government, coordination of emergency medical responses, event health services and first aid assistance at community and major events through to nationally accredited first aid training, community education and first aid products and equipment.
Each year St John NT participates in a national survey through the Council of Ambulance Authorities to gauge our patients’ level of satisfaction with our ambulance service.
The survey provides us with valuable insight into areas of our operations that meet your expectations or may require special attention and/or improvement.
In essence it gives us an indication of how well we are serving and caring for our community in the Northern Territory.
