St John Ambulance (Northern Territory)

St John Ambulance (Northern Territory) is a charitable organisation providing first aid and community health services across the Northern Territory of Australia. It is part of the wider St John Ambulance Australia, a federation of state and territory organisations which themselves are part of the international Order of St John.

Its primary functions include the provision of ambulance services, first aid training to the public and businesses, event health services, and community programs aimed at improving health outcomes, particularly in remote and Indigenous communities.

St John NT operates a network of ambulance stations and training centres throughout the Northern Territory. As a not-for-profit organisation, it relies on funding from various sources including government contracts, service fees, donations, and fundraising activities to support its operations and community initiatives.

The organisation plays a crucial role in delivering pre-hospital care and emergency medical assistance across the vast and often sparsely populated Northern Territory. Its work is vital in ensuring access to medical services, especially in areas where access to traditional medical facilities is limited.
