St John First Responder App

Help us find you in an emergency

We know that sometimes pinpointing your exact location can be difficult but when a situation is life threatening, every second counts. The St John First Responder App sends your GPS coordinates to the operator when you call Triple 000 for an ambulance, speeding up the time it takes to confirm your location and dispatch an ambulance.
