The correct treatment for a nosebleed is:

✅ Sit down and stay calm
✅ Lean slightly forward
✅ Pinch the soft part of the nose below the bridge
✅ Hold pressure for 10 minutes while breathing through the mouth

❌ Don't tilt the head back
❌ Don't lie down

⚠️ If bleeding continues after 20 minutes of firm pressure, call Triple Zero (000) and continue applying pressure.

⚠️ If the nosebleed is caused by a head injury, call 000 immediately.

Knowing simple first aid skills can make a big difference when accidents happen.

🚑✨ Training Day at St John Pinjarra! ✨🚑

What a fantastic day of learning, teamwork and plenty of laughs! 💚

Our volunteers spent the day sharpening their skills with hands-on training, including:
👶 Emergency childbirth
🦠 Infection prevention
📚 CPG updates
❤️ Cardiac conditions
🫀 Adult, child & neonatal CPR
🚨 Trauma and medical simulation exercises, with a big focus on paediatric scenarios.

A huge shout-out to our little helpers who joined us for the day! 🧸👏 Having some very brave young "patients" made our paediatric scenarios even more realistic and gave our crews invaluable experience. Thank you for being such great sports! 💚

After all that hard work, it was time to put our brand-new pizza oven to the test... and it definitely passed! 🍕🔥 Purchased thanks to the generous donations from our community at recent public duties, it was a big hit with everyone.

A big thank you to everyone who supports St John Pinjarra. Whether you donate, volunteer or simply cheer us on, you're helping us keep our volunteers trained, connected and ready to care for our community when it matters most. 🚑💚

✨️ VOLUNTEER SHOUT OUT✨️

A huge congratulations to our very own Dwellingup volunteer, Gabby! 👏💚🚑

We are incredibly proud to see Gabby featured by Alcoa Australia after being selected as one of just 30 women from across Western Australia to take part in the inaugural Women in Rescue Pilot Program.

Throughout the week, Gabby took part in hands-on emergency response training while building her leadership, confidence and resilience alongside other inspiring women in emergency services.

The knowledge, skills and experience she has gained will no doubt benefit not only her workplace, but also our St John WA Dwellingup team and the community we proudly serve.

Congratulations, Gabby, on this fantastic achievement. Your dedication to learning, growing and helping others is something we are all incredibly proud of. We can't wait to see where this opportunity takes you next! 💚

Please join us in congratulating Gabby in the comments below! 🎉👏

🔥 NOT ALL BURNS ARE THE SAME! 🔥

Did you know there are three main types of burns?
Knowing the difference can help you recognise when first aid is enough and when it's time to call for help. 🚑

🟥 Superficial Burn 🟥
Think of a mild burn or scald.
✔️ Red and painful skin
✔️ May blister or swell

Most superficial burns can be treated with first aid and monitored as they heal. Keep the area clean and watch for signs of infection.

🟠 Deep Burn 🟠
More serious and always needs medical attention.
⚠️ Skin may appear white, dark red or charred
⚠️ Little or no pain in some areas due to nerve damage
⚠️ Often surrounded by a red, painful burn

☎️ Call Triple Zero (000) and provide first aid.

⚫ Full Thickness Burn ⚫️
The most severe type of burn.
🚨 Burn may look black, brown, charred or dry
🚨 White tissue may be visible
🚨 Little or no pain due to destruction of nerve endings

☎️ This is a medical emergency. Call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

✅ No matter the type of burn, remember:
💧 Cool the burn under cool running water for up to 20 minutes 💧
❌ Never use ice
❌ Never apply creams, lotions or ointments

🤔 QUIZ TIME! 🤔

A) Superficial Burn
B) Deep Burn

❓️ What's the first thing you should do when treating a burn?
A) Apply burn cream
B) Cover it with a bandage

🎄✨ Jingle in June was one to remember! ✨🎄

This weekend, our depot was transformed into a cosy Christmas cottage as we welcomed our volunteers and their families for our annual Jingle in June Family Fun Day.

From catching up with old friends to making new memories, the day was filled with laughter, great conversations, and plenty of festive cheer.

A huge thank you to the incredible spit roast food truck and our fantastic ice cream truck for keeping everyone well fed. The food was absolutely delicious, and your friendly service helped make the day extra special!

Events like these are a wonderful reminder that St John is more than just volunteering—it's a community. We're so grateful to everyone who came along and helped create such a fun and memorable day.

We can't wait to do it all again next year! 🎅❤️💚
