The fastest way to get an ambulance to your location.

A free app full of resources to help life go on for you, your workmates, or your loved ones.

Anyone with a smartphone and a first aid qualification can help in an emergency.

The St John First Responder App has a range of features, one being its unique first responder capability. The app allows qualified first aiders to sign up as a first responder and be notified when someone has called 000 for an ambulance within 500 metres of their current location and in a public place.

If you’re not looking to sign up as a first responder yet, then that’s okay! The app also contains a number of other resources, including a directory of defibrillator locations, comprehensive first aid guides and a “call 000” feature that automatically sends your exact GPS coordinates to the St John Ambulance State Operations Centre when calling from within the state of Western Australia
