During 2022, St John was devastated by the passing of our much-loved executive member Andrew Sitaramayya. Andrew was a fundamental part of our emergency services and COVID-19 response work. His energy and intelligence has shaped the future of St John.

At St John NSW, our mission is to save lives through first aid. All our activities are directed towards that goal. We are an entity limited by guarantee, with no share capital under the provisions of the Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commissions Act 2012.
Committed to the principles and practice of good governance the Board of St John NSW sets the strategic direction of the organisation.
In 2022, our Board was supported by the following committees:
People and Culture Committee: Supports the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in the area of people-based policy and procedures (both volunteers and employees), to enhance the culture of the organisation and deliver oversight of the people governance structures.
Clinical Governance Committee: supports the Board in its oversight of clinical governance across all the products and services of the organisation ensuring that practices meet current guidelines under the NSW Clinical Governance Framework.
Honours and Awards Committee: Supports the Board in recommending the award of commendations, medals and prizes to members of St John NSW, external organisations and to members of the community. In addition, the Committee facilitates the process for admissions to, and promotion within, the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem (the Order).
Audit, Risk and Investment: Supports the Board in fulfilling its statutory and corporate governance responsibilities in the areas of financial reporting, risk management and investment strategy. Through its Audit, Risk & Investment Committee, the Board oversees the establishment and implementation of St John NSW’s risk appetite and management system. This is designed to protect our reputation and manage those risks that might preclude us from achieving our organisational goals.
St John Ambulance Australia (St John Australia) is a Recognised Training Organisation (RTO number: 88041) and issues nationally recognised qualifications and statements of attainment. St John Ambulance Australia’s medical and technical advisory committees authorise the content of courses, ensuring excellence in educational outcomes using the latest teaching techniques and course content to meet both Australian and International standards.
St John NSW is governed by several clinical governance committees including: the St John Australia National Medical Advisory Panel, the St John NSW Clinical Governance Committee and the Clinical Advisory Group. All St John NSW clinical personnel operate under St John Ambulance Australia’s National Clinical Practice Guidelines which ensure that each patient receives the highest level of care to achieve the best possible medical outcome.
St John NSW cares about keeping children and young people safe. Protecting and promoting the emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual wellbeing of children and young people is central to all aspects of the operations and culture of St John NSW. We’re committed to creating and maintaining an environment where members act in the best interest of children and young people and have zero tolerance to any form of abuse.
Membership within The Order of St John is an honour sanctioned by the Governor-General on behalf of The Order’s Sovereign Head, HM King Charles III. Admission to, or promotion within The Order is awarded to members who make significant contributions to the objectives and purposes of St John.
St John NSW members are invested into The Most Venerable Order of The Hospital of St John of Jerusalem during an annual Investiture ceremony.
St John NSW held awards ceremonies locally at divisions across NSW enabling us to celebrate and publicly recognise the extraordinary actions undertaken by community members, emergency services and our very own volunteers and staff who provided lifesaving or life sustaining first aid to a person in need, often in difficult emergency situations.
