You can meet this little cutie — and even a Highland cow — at our World First Aid Day event in Moonah on the 13th. Alongside the animals, there’s something for everyone: ambulance tours, face painting, giveaways, and the chance to pick up first aid skills that could one day save a life.

🚨 First Aid Scenario 🚨

Let’s put your first aid knowledge to the test.

You’re out on a hiking trail, enjoying the fresh air, when your friend trips and lands awkwardly on their wrist. It’s swollen, painful, and they’re holding it carefully. They can still move it, but it clearly hurts.

What would you do first?

Share your answer in the comments, we’ll respond with the correct first aid steps to help you build confidence in handling real-life situations!

Happy International Dog Day!

At St John Tasmania, we know our furry friends are often right by our side. At home, on adventures, and sometimes even when first aid is needed. Today we’re celebrating the special role pets play in our lives and reminding everyone that first aid isn’t just for people, knowing how to respond to common pet emergencies can make a big difference too.

Here’s to walkies, wagging tails, and keeping every member of the family safe 💚

It was all leather jackets, warm laughs, and big hearts this weekend at Lake Leake Inn 💛🏍️
We joined an amazing crew of riders for a Memorial Ride — a powerful tribute to mateship, memory, and looking out for one another.

And now, there’s a new addition keeping the Inn even safer: a bright orange defib, proudly donated through our Community Safe Grant Program ⚡

With the nearest help over 30 minutes away, this little device could one day be the difference between life and death — and that’s why we’re so proud to support places like Lake Leake Inn.
Huge thanks to the team at the Inn, all the riders, and their very good boy for welcoming us in true Tassie style.
