National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) is a time for all Australians to learn, reflect, and take meaningful action toward a more just and equitable future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year's theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, and here at at St John NSW, we recognise the importance of ensuring access to first aid education, healthcare support, and life-saving services for all communities.

As Australia’s Medical Reserve, we are committed to helping create culturally safe, inclusive, and accessible services that support better health outcomes for First Nations peoples.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) continues to guide how we strengthen respectful relationships, support cultural learning across our organisation, and work alongside First Nations communities across NSW.

Last week, Sydney Kings fan Adam Wilson reunited with the St John Ambulance NSW volunteers who helped save his life, after suffering a cardiac arrest during the NBL Championship decider at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena.

In front of thousands of spectators, St John Ambulance NSW volunteers worked alongside NSW Police, venue staff and off-duty doctor to deliver lifesaving aid before Adam was stabilised and taken to hospital.

Now recovered, Adam met the team whose quick response gave him a second chance.

“I can’t properly express the gratitude I have for everyone who worked to save my life. Without the medical staff acting as quickly and calmly as they did, I wouldn’t be here today.”

This serves as a powerful reminder of why CPR training and defibrillators are so important:
❤️ Around 30,000 Australians experience sudden cardiac arrest every year
❤️ Survival chances drop by 10% for every minute defibrillation is delayed
❤️ Survival rates can reach up to 70% when a defibrillator is used before paramedics arrive

Emergencies don’t wait, and neither do volunteers like Jim.

For more than a decade, Jim has dedicated his time volunteering with St John NSW, providing first aid at community events, mentoring young cadets and responding to emergency deployments across the state.

Then in 2025, while walking through Sydney’s CBD, Jim spotted a bystander running through the crowd carrying a defibrillator. Within moments, he was helping respond to a life-threatening medical emergency.

“Because of my training, I felt confident to take control of the scene, delivering CPR and instructing those around me how to best help.”

Your Year to Volunteer ⭐🙋

This Volunteer week, we’re coming together to recognise and celebrate the countless hours donated, skills contributed, and positive impact volunteers create across our communities.

Last year, St John NSW members contributed over 290,000 volunteer hours, kept the public safe at 85 major events, and over 3,000 community events, treating almost 10,000 patients.

We hope this week offers a chance to reflect on the incredible contributions of volunteers, and inspires others to see 2026 as their year to volunteer, and experience the same sense of purpose and community.

Lights, Sirens, Teamwork.

This morning, St John joined forces with emergency service partners for a large-scale multi-agency exercise designed to test coordination, communication, and teamwork in a high-pressure major incident scenario 🚑🚓🚒🚁

Designed to simulate the pressures of a major public event incident, the exercise gave emergency crews the opportunity to put their clinical skills, patient care, communication and multi-agency coordination into action, strengthening operational readiness in a realistic environment.

Regular collaborative training exercises like today are essential in ensuring every agency understands their role and responsibilities, while continuing to strengthen communication, coordination and the ability to work seamlessly together as one team, when it matters most.

“Without the medical staff acting as quickly and as calmly as they did, I wouldn’t be here today.”

What started as a night watching the Sydney Kings NBL Championship decider nearly became a tragedy for long-time fan Adam Wilson, who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in front of thousands at Qudos Bank Arena.

Within moments, St John NSW first responders were first on scene, providing a rapid response and administering lifesaving care that would ultimately lead to Adams remarkable recovery.

On Monday night, Adam reunited with the incredible first responders who helped save his life that night.

This Road Safety Week, we're asking a simple question... do you know what to do in the first moments after a car crash? 🚗

Most of us hope we'll never need to know. But if you're ever first on scene, those minutes are much more critical than you may think. Bystander intervention in the first few minutes after a car accident can save a life, and anyone can do it.

That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to take the free St John Driver First Aid course. In just 30 minutes, you’ll gain the confidence to step in and help when it matters most. 📲 https://driverfirstaid.org.au/
