Meet Jo, one of our dedicated emergency ambulance service volunteers in Queenstown 🚑

She joined us over six years ago and started volunteering with Wakatipu Search and Rescue and Fire and Emergency New Zealand before being inspired to volunteer with us after working alongside one of our intensive care paramedics at a motorsport event. "The rest is history", she says.

For Jo, volunteering is highly rewarding and means she gets to help people when they need it most. Becoming a volunteer has also taught her new skills and helped her make lifelong friends.

Thank you, Jo, for the time, care and commitment you give to your community. Volunteers like you make a meaningful difference every day 💚

When Jac's younger sister collapsed one night, he initially thought she was playing, but quickly realised she was having a seizure and wasted no time getting help⌚

He scooped her up and ran to his mother, who rushed his sister to their neighbour, Justin, a St John in Schools educator, who provided first aid until an ambulance arrived 🚑

Jac’s quick thinking and calm actions earned him our Courage in Action bravery award which was presented by Justin at a special school assembly 🏆

Jac’s mum Rebekah is super proud of how steady and caring he was and how he also looked after his other sister when the ambulance crew arrived 💖

Stories like Jac's remind us that age is no barrier. Young people can be lifesavers too👏

Dee-FIB-ri-lay-tuh... say it 3 times fast...

Or, for an easier challenge, learn where your nearest defibrillator is and how to use it 💛

In a cardiac arrest every minute without defibrillation reduces a person's chances of survival by 10%. They can have a massive impact and help save lives.

🌟We're excited to introduce Cadet Leader Nate Woods, as our St John Youth NZ National Cadet of the Year 2027! 👏

Nate is from our St John Youth Division in Ashburton and presented himself as a cadet full of passion for the potential his generation has to offer, and dedication to bringing that potential to fruition.

"I'm incredibly humbled and honoured to have been selected as the 2027 National Cadet of the Year. If you had told 6-year-old me that one day I'd have the privilege of representing St John Youth across Aotearoa, I never would have believed you.

"What I love most about the youth programme is its people. He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata. It's a place where everybody belongs, and where every generation invests in the next by supporting one another to reach their potential."

Nate is poised to become a brilliant advocate for rangatahi during the programme's centenary year. 📣

Some of our amazing Patient Transfer team 🚑

When a patient needs to get from one hospital to another for specialist treatment or ongoing care this is part of the team that makes it happen.

Our Patient Transfer crews are out all around the motu providing safe, comfortable and reliable transport for thousands of people. In the last 12 months alone, they travelled over 4.8 million kilometres - helping people reach the care they need 💛

20/08/2026

We're currently experiencing very high 111 call volumes and our people are doing their absolute best to help everyone who needs them 🚑

When someone calls us for help, our focus is on making sure they get the care they need. For some patients, the right care may not always be an ambulance response.

Sometimes the safest and most appropriate care is clinical advice, a referral to another health service, advice on self-care, or help to access care closer to home. In other cases, the right care is still an emergency ambulance response.

Please continue to call 111 in a life-threatening emergency📱

If your condition is not urgent, we encourage you to consider which other healthcare service may be appropriate and available locally. This could be help from:
✅an online GP
✅a pharmacist
✅an urgent care provider
✅or Healthline’s free callback option at https://brnw.ch/21x55ny.
