(1-2) St John Ambulance is a not for profit organisation contracted by the State to deliver ambulance services. Analysis of St John Ambulance funding sources and organisational expenditure is outside the remit of this contract.
Funding from the State Government is only used to provide and support the services identified in the contracts.
Questions about how St John Ambulance funds charity work should be directed to St John Ambulance.
