Frequently Asked Questions
About Event Health Services

Do I need to provide medical care at my event?

Accidents can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. Last financial year St John WA Event Health Services treated 5,163 people at various events across WA. Events with 500+ attendees require minimum two qualified first aiders by law. You don't want a medical emergency to be your main event, so we highly recommend considering professional medical coverage.

How many medical team members do I need for my event?

A minimum of two event health team members are required at any event. Event Health Services will undertake a medical risk analysis of your event and recommend the qualification level and number of medical team members required based on factors like event type, attendee numbers, demographics, and venue layout.

What's the difference between your paramedics and event health officers?

Our paramedics are active in the WA ambulance service with university degrees and can administer a wide range of medications without authorisation. Event Health Officers are qualified to Advanced Ambulance Care level - the same clinical scope as Country Ambulance Service staff - and can manage many medical conditions on-site, reducing hospital transports.

How much does event medical coverage cost?

As a charitable, non-profit organisation, we charge cost recovery fees only, making professional medical services affordable for events of all sizes. Costs depend on event duration, number of staff required, qualification levels needed, and equipment requirements. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Do you use volunteers?

Yes, Event Health Services uses a combination of paid and volunteer team members. Many of our Event Health Officers are dedicated volunteers who love their work. This volunteer model helps us provide event medical services at significantly lower rates while maintaining high standards of care.

What types of events do you cover?

We cover all event types - from school fetes and community fairs to major festivals, concerts, sporting events, agricultural shows, corporate functions, and film sets. We've been providing medical services to the Perth Royal Show since 1903 and attend over 4,000 events annually across Western Australia.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for large events or during busy periods. Once booked, we'll conduct a risk assessment and provide you with a detailed medical plan well before your event date.
