Latest News

St John Ambulance is regularly contacted by the media for information regarding incidents to which ambulances may have been sent. The media also regularly seeks comment on pre-hospital medical matters and concerns, as they arise, about ambulance performance and the performance of other aspects of the health system. St John Ambulance aims to efficiently respond to media enquiries for a number of reasons. The media plays a valuable role in keeping the community informed of social and health risks; we believe that we should be accountable for our performance to the community; and the media can be a valuable vehicle for promoting the work of paramedics, educating the public and promoting public safety messages.

For details about specific incidents that ambulances may have been sent to, media representatives may contact the State Ambulance Operations Centre 24 hours, seven days a week, on 08 9334 1234.
