Would you know how to save the life of a loved one?

  Chances are you will be the first on the scene of an accident, or the only person able to assist in the event of an emergency. It could be at work, while driving or in your own home.   At St John Ambulance NT we can teach you the life saving first aid skills that can make a difference in those first few minutes.

First Aid training is an essential skill for life and anyone can complete a course.  There is no minimum level of fitness required .  You never know when you may need these skills.  Early intervention has been proven to save lives and to reduce recovery time from injuries.

Statistics show:

It takes only 4 minutes for a road accident victim with no serious injuries to die from a blocked airway. It can take up to 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at the scene of an accident.
