Today on International Volunteer Day we say a huge thank you to every St John SA volunteer.

This year’s theme, Every Contribution Matters, could not be more fitting. In 2024/25, 951 volunteers gave more than 90,000 hours of service, valued at over $3.6 million to the South Australian community.

From providing first aid at community events and Carols by Candlelight, to supporting community care, youth programs and training, you help people feel safe, supported and connected every day.

We also acknowledge and thank our many volunteers in administration, logistics, planning and leadership roles whose quiet work behind the scenes makes this impact possible.

Thank you for everything you do for our community.
