Tools of the trade

Every day in Victoria, St. John provides the Victorian community with outstanding First Aid services, just for the love of it. The recent tragic bushfires show how important we are to the community. Our volunteers maintained an extraordinary and exhausting level of effort, caring for man than 1,125 bushfire casualties over 50 days. St. John Volunteers are ever willing to help in times of crisis, but we need your help! The last couple of months have depleted our resources. As a volunteer-based organisation that receives less than 5% government funding, we rely on the assistance of people like you to keep us going. Just as others rely on OUR love and assistance in their time of need.
