💜 Women’s Health Week | Do It Anyway 💜

This Women’s Health Week, we’re embracing the theme “Do It Anyway.”

Do it anyway.
Make the appointment.
Ask the question.
Get the check-up.
Speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
Take the time to look after you — even when life is busy, you’re tired, or you’re putting everyone else first.

As women, we can be very good at looking after everyone around us… but our own health matters too.

So this week, do it anyway. 💜

Don’t ignore the signs. Don’t put yourself last. And don’t be afraid to advocate for your health.

Your health is worth making time for.

Heading to City2Surf tomorrow?

You’ll see a sea of St John green along the course, with our dedicated volunteers ready to help if you need first aid.

Hornsby St John members will be stationed at First Aid Posts 5 through to 8, including the infamous Heartbreak Hill 💔

So whether you’re running, walking or cheering from the sidelines, keep an eye out for the friendly faces in green. 💚

National Volunteer Week// This week, we celebrate and thank our incredible volunteers for everything they do.
From the early mornings and late-night finishes, bush bashing alongside the bikes (and the occasional native wildlife encounter), to Marine Rescue training and weekend sporting events spent RICE-ing injuries and applying blister patches at running races. From handing out bandaids at school fetes and ice packs at pole dancing competitions, to supporting the many and varied events at the Easter Show, plus many more —
Thank you for your dedication, compassion, empathy, and unwavering support of our community.
Here’s to the free snags, lifelong friendships, and the vital first aid skills that make a real difference every day.

Heart Week 4-10 May// Our Cadets explain that the warning signs and symptoms of heart attack can vary. Symptoms can start suddenly, or develop over time and get progressively worse. People can have just one symptom or a combination of symptoms. The patient can feel discomfort or pain in the centre of the chest. According to The Heart Foundation not all patients feel chest discomfort (more than 40% of women do not experience chest pain)

ANZAC DAY// Hornsby St John members proudly provided first aid services at the Hornsby and Glenorie ANZAC Dawn Services, as well as supporting the ANZAC Day march and commemorations in the city.

On this ANZAC Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and enduring spirit of the men, women and animals who have served our nation. We remember those who gave their lives in service and reflect on the values of mateship, resilience, and dedication that continue to inspire us today.

Lest we forget.
