Shout out to DFES Boddington, thank you for always showing up for Boddo, and us. For being the kind of people we know we can rely on at any hour of the day or night, no matter the call. Cheers, legends. We appreciate you.

We cant do it without you 🫵

Want to volunteer, but the lights and sirens aren't your scene?
This year, we're looking for volunteers who would like to help with non-emergency tasks, like Community Transport, that will give the people of Boddington a stress-free way to get to appointments in other areas.
You don't need medical experience, just a valid licence, willingness to lend a hand, meet new people, and support your community.
Because drivers are needed by request, and being rural, means that there is no minimum commitment. A remittance to cover expenses is also available, so have lunch on us :)
If this seems like something you're interested in, we'd love to hear from you!
Send us a message, drop in, or give us a call for more information.

Today is International Paramedics Day.
We'd like to recognise and thank the fantastic Paramedics who step up to look after our crews, and most of all, our incredible Community Paramedic, Nicola.
Covering a vast area, and multiple sub centres, she provides advanced, high-acuity emergency medical care, responding alongside our volunteers to some of the region's sickest and most seriously injured patients. Knowing she's attending, with her clinical expertise, leadership and calm presence make an enormous difference to the vollies, and, of course, the patients, on what is usually their worst day.
Beyond emergency response, though, she is also a mentor, educator and unwavering supporter of our volunteer ambulance crews and sub centres. She generously shares her knowledge, builds confidence in our volunteers and helps ensure our communities continue to receive the highest standard of care.
Her commitment extends far beyond the patients she treats, she invests in the people who care for them too.
From everyone at St John Boddington, thank you for your dedication, your leadership, and for everything you do for our volunteers and the communities we serve.
We appreciate you 💚

A huge congratulations to our very own Lauren Winmar!

We'd like to say we're surprised... but honestly, anyone who's met Loz probably saw this coming. Although, with that legendary poker face of hers, you'd never know she was quietly collecting awards 😉

Lauren was recently nominated by her crew mates in two St John Values Awards categories, and has taken the win in the Think Team arena. This category celebrates the team members who go above and beyond to build their SJA community and help others grow within it.

While she's volunteered HUNDREDS of hours in the Ambulances, responding to the community, Lauren has also quietly dedicated countless hours of her own time to showing new volunteers around the vehicles, explaining equipment, answering every question (even the ones asked eleven times - sorry), and helping build the confidence that turns nervous recruits into capable crew members. Loz also goes out of her way to be a shoulder to cry on if needed, and makes time for a coffee and a chat if anyone needs reassurance or clarification.

Her patience, generosity, and genuine talent for mentoring have helped shape the next generation of volunteers here in Boddington. She's always willing to share her knowledge, lend a hand, and support those around her, to the betterment of the whole sub centre.

Lauren, thank you for everything you do, both on the road and behind the scenes. This recognition is incredibly well deserved, even if it IS against your will 🤣 and we're so lucky to have you as an integral part of the St John Boddington family.

Congratulations, Loz! We couldn't be prouder.

Aus Alert Test Warning ⚠️ 27th July, 2026.

From the Aus Alert Page:
'What is AusAlert?
AusAlert is a new national emergency warning system that sends urgent messages to compatible mobile phones and other mobile devices in a specified area.

AusAlert brings cell-broadcast technology to Australian emergency warnings. This technology is considered international best practice and is used by more than 30 countries for emergency warning communications.

AusAlert will allow emergency services organisations and some Australian Government agencies to send targeted warning messages. The system will be more reliable, accurate and efficient than current systems. This means authorities can reach people quickly when it matters most, keeping Australians informed and helping to save lives and property. In the future, AusAlert will also send automated voice messages to landline phones.

An AusAlert message will tell you:

what the emergency is
where it is happening
how serious it is
what you should do
who the message is from
where to find more information.
When AusAlert may be used
AusAlert may be used for a range of situations, including:

Natural hazards, such as bushfires, floods, cyclones and tsunamis
Public safety and security threats, such as serious public safety incidents or terrorism
Biosecurity incidents, such as animal or plant disease and biohazard outbreaks
Health emergencies, such as pandemics or other national public health events.'

Aus Alert is designed to override 'silent' or 'do not disturb' settings, so if you have a phone you keep hidden for safety, please turn it off an hour before the alert, or remove it from your home during that time

What would we do without them?

A sincere thank you to the HEMS crew from the R.A.C rescue chopper, working alongside Boddington Hospital staff and St John volunteers to ensure the people of Boddington receive the best possible care.
Beating the worst of the weather to safely retrieve the sickest of the sick, when it matters most.
