Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise Paramedic of the Year

The Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise established the Ambulance Officer of the Year Awards in 1999 to acknowledge the contribution of ambulance officers in the Northern Territory and our community. From this humble beginning and in partnership with St John NT, the awards have flourished and grown into the St John NT Excellence Awards with the Rotary Club of Darwin Sunrise as the Principle Sponsor of the Paramedic of the Year.

The Paramedic of the Year is selected for their commitment to the values of St John NT, showing respect and compassion for all patients and staff while consistently demonstrating excellence in patient care.

Rotary’s belief is that an individual can serve their community through exemplary professional practise, through the demonstration of integrity and high ethical standards, and through recognising the contribution of different occupations in our community.
