St John NT is aware of a national TPG Telecom/Vodafone mobile network issue affecting some customers today.

TPG Telecom has advised the issue has been resolved and services are progressively being restored.

If you use Vodafone, TPG, iiNet, Kogan, felix, Lebara, Lycamobile or another service on the TPG Telecom network, and you are still experiencing issues, please restart your device.

In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000).

If your usual mobile network is unavailable, your phone may attempt to connect through another available network. This may take up to approximately 30 seconds and you may hear silence or “dead air” while the call connects. Stay on the line where safe to do so.

If your call does not connect, try again, move location if safe, or use another available phone or network.

For every finish line celebration, there are countless moments that never make the podium.

The helping hands, the early starts, the dust, the determination, the setbacks, the resilience and the people who look after one another when things don't go to plan.

We're privileged to play a part in the Finke Desert Race story each year, sharing in both the highs and the lows alongside this incredible community.

Enjoy just a few moments from the weekend.

Every case is different, and some can become unpredictable very quickly.

That's why our Alice Springs paramedics have spent the past two weeks working alongside Mark "Squiz" Squirrell OAM, learning from his experience in some of the world's most challenging environments, including humanitarian and conflict-zone deployments.

The focus wasn't on clinical skills. It was on the human skills that help keep people safe: reading a situation, communicating under pressure, making good decisions and knowing when it's time to leave an unsafe environment.

Occupational violence is a reality faced by ambulance crews across Australia, and we're committed to giving our people every tool we can to help them stay safe while continuing to care for Territorians.

The first time these guys met, 2-month-old Teddy was fighting for his life.

“He was blue-grey and completely unresponsive. Without the dispatcher and paramedics who responded, the outcome could have been very different,” Teddy's mum, Sarah, said.

Just weeks after Teddy suffered a cardiac arrest at home, he and his family have reunited with the team - Eli, Charlie, Anna and Kelsey - whose response gave him a fighting chance.

From a frantic Triple Zero (000) call to a heartfelt reunion, read Teddy's remarkable story here: www.stjohnnt.org.au/news

Happy Thank a First Responder Day! 💚

To all our paramedics, PTOs, EMDs, volunteers and fellow first responders across the NT, thank you for everything you do.

In Darwin, crews dropped by the Mix 104.9 breakfast broadcast, where first responders were celebrated on-air with listeners across the Top End.

The team in Alice Springs also got a first look at some of the entries in our Thank a First Responder Day art competition, with a thoughtful submission from Acacia Hill School already proving an early favourite!

Keep the thank you messages rolling in!
