In an emergency, every minute counts.

When more people have the skills, equipment and confidence to help during a first aid incident, more lives can be saved.

In the same way, every dollar counts. When you donate to St John, you are making a tangible impact in communities across NSW.

Donations help to build safe, resilient NSW communities

Naomi's story

When Naomi Martin suffered a cardiac arrest at Qudos Bank Arena in 2013, St John Ambulance NSW volunteers performed CPR for 15 minutes before shocking her with a defibrillator four times - and they saved her life.
