A refresher today could make all the difference tomorrow. đź’š

Recently, we delivered a CPR refresher session to a seniors’ group in the ACT.

Just weeks later, members of the group found themselves responding to a cardiac emergency in their community. They called Triple Zero (000), started CPR and worked together until paramedics arrived.

Their experience is a powerful reminder that keeping your first aid skills fresh can give you the confidence to act when it matters most.

We’re proud to support ACT communities with practical skills that can be put into action when they’re needed most.

Okay, we'll give you a hint… 👀

If you're looking for something actually useful to do these school holidays, we've got you.

Our First Aid for Teens course gives 13–17 year olds practical skills to respond when it matters — including CPR, AED use, common injuries and emergencies.

Out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind.

Your first aid kit might be sitting in the cupboard or car — but when was the last time you actually opened it?

Our research found 78% of Australians have access to a first aid kit, but only 35% have checked their home kit in the past 12 months for missing or expired items.

This World First Aid Day, give yours five minutes of attention.

You never know when you'll need it.

Five minutes. What could you possibly do with it?

Scroll your phone, make a coffee, feed the dog, water the plants… or check your first aid kit?

78% of Australians have access to a first aid kit, according to our latest research. But when was the last time you actually checked yours?

This World First Aid Day, take five to make sure it's stocked, in date and ready to go.

Because five minutes of preparation is better than finding out what’s missing when you need it.

At St John ACT, we know that first aid isn't only about physical health. Looking out for the mental well being of those around us is just as important.

Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. You don’t have to be an expert to have a meaningful R U OK? conversation. Listening and giving someone your time might be just what they need to help them through.

Sometimes the most important first response is simply being there for someone.

đź’› Ask. Listen. Support.

Happy Father's Day to all our members, staff and members of the community who are dads, grandads, dads to be, or simply those of us who have or had dads.

Every day (including today), our team goes out of their way to look after the community in some of their darkest moments, when accident or illness take them by surprise.

Happy Father's Day from St John ACT!

They’re calm in a crisis.
They’re there in the moments that matter.
They are the courageous and caring.

This National Volunteer Week, we’re recognising the incredible St John volunteers who support communities across the ACT - at events, during emergencies, and in everyday moments in between.

They’re the reassuring presence behind the scenes, helping communities stay safe so they can enjoy every moment that matters.

So this week, we say it loud: Thank you to all our incredible volunteers, you are the heart of St John. đź’š
