Join us & make a difference.
At St John Ambulance Queensland, we are passionate about saving lives through first aid, but we need your help to expand and support the growing demand for our services.
By either volunteering or donating, you are actively taking a part in enhancing the lives of Queenslanders, their families and the community through the delivery of innovative training, first aid and community social support services.
Why Volunteer?
For some it’s a chance to give back to the community, and for others it’s a valuable opportunity to develop new skills or share existing skills. What unites our volunteers is their passion and commitment to make a tangible difference in the community.
St John Ambulance Qld is proud to have an active team of volunteers supporting us to provide vital services to people in the community. We have a diverse range of volunteering opportunities suitable for all skill levels and time constraints.
