Just a quick heads up đź’š

St John Tasmania will be closed on Friday 29 May while our team takes part in staff training.

We’ll be back and operating as normal from 8:30am Monday.

Thanks for your understanding while we take some time to learn, grow and continue building the best possible service for the Tasmanian community.

This National Volunteer Week, we’d like to extend a huge thank you to our incredible team of St John volunteers across Tasmania 💚

From youth programs and first aid education to social support, community activities and Event Health Services, our volunteers help keep communities across the state safer, stronger and more connected.

So much of what volunteers do happens quietly. Behind the scenes, after hours, in the crowd, on the sidelines, and in the moments most people never see. But the impact is enormous.

Your dedication, compassion and willingness to step in when needed is what allows St John to support communities across Tasmania each and every day.

Thank you to our volunteers here in Tasmania, and the nearly 12,000 St John volunteers supporting communities across Australia. Your support allows St John to be the unofficial sponsor of helping communities do their thing.

Every year, seasonal workers from Timor-Leste and Tonga play an important role supporting Tasmanian farms, regional businesses and communities.

Many also come from communities where access to first aid training and emergency care is limited.

That’s why St John Tasmania has been supporting a new Introduction to First Aid program at Murakaei Farm, helping workers build practical skills they can use here in Tasmania and take home to their own communities.

So far, 65 workers have completed the training, with specially adapted first aid kits and guides also being sent home with returning workers.

The program builds on years of work by our State Commissioner, Carl Graham, supporting first aid and emergency care development in Timor-Leste through training, mentoring and health partnerships.

Today is International Nurses Day.

To our St John volunteer nurses - thank you.

For the skill you bring.
For the calm you carry.
And for the moments you step in when it matters most.

Through our Event Health Services teams, you help keep events across Tasmania safe.

If you’re planning an event, you can book our team to be there when it matters.

Or thinking about volunteering? You don’t have to be a nurse to volunteer. We provide the training and support to help you step in with confidence.

It’s Road Safety Week.

We spend a lot of time talking about preventing crashes.
But what happens after one matters too.

If you’re first on scene, those first few minutes can make a real difference.

A first aid kit in the car is a good start. Knowing how to use it is what counts.

That’s why learning first aid isn’t just useful, it’s something every driver should have.

This Mother’s Day, let’s retire the idea that mums are just at home.

They’re out riding.
Out exploring.
Out doing more than most of us.

And when something goes wrong…
they’re often the first to act.

To the first first responders. Happy Mother’s Day.

Today is World Asthma Day.

Asthma attacks can be frightening. But knowing what to do can make all the difference.

âś… 4 puffs of a reliever inhaler (one at a time)
âś… 4 breaths after each puff
âś… Wait 4 minutes
âś… Then repeat every 4 minutes until the person improves, or help arrives

If someone in your life has asthma, it’s worth knowing exactly what to do.

Our Provide First Aid* courses cover asthma management — with EOFY discounts now available.

Because in an emergency, confidence matters.

It’s Heart Week ❣️ and a reminder that cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, including at work.

Every 15 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a cardiac arrest.
Without immediate help, survival is as low as 5–10%.

But with early CPR and defibrillation, survival double or triple.

Most workplaces are prepared for a fire. Very few are prepared for cardiac arrest.
