St John Ambulance Australia as the Australian Priory of the Order of St John, is part of an international organisation dedicated to charitable and humanitarian efforts.
Our governance framework includes our Priory Board providing expert oversight, Position Statements outlining our official policies on key issues, and our Constitution establishing our legal framework and operational guidelines for serving Australian communities.
The modern origins of St John trace back to the 19th century in England, when a group of citizens inspired by the medieval Knights of St John who cared for pilgrims and crusaders, revived the Order of St John.
