St John Ambulance Australia - Unsw Division

We are ordinary people doing extraordinary things in our local communities - people with a commitment to practical and compassionate caring.

Meeting Times & What to Expect:

Our regular meetings are on Mondays 18: 30 - 20: 30 during semester only, based on UNSW Academic Calendar (From end of February to May, and end of July - October, approximately 25 meetings a year). Location is somewhere on campus. Please check our Facebook Page for the exact location closer to date.

During Meetings, we refresh and enhance our first aid clinical skills and knowledge through lectures, practical scenarios and guest speakers, catch up with what’s going on with the division, the organisation & members and have heaps of fun.
