Our Ambulance Services are not fully Government funded. Contracts with the Ministry of Health, ACC and District Health Boards (DHBs) fund just under 80% of our Ambulance Service direct operating costs.

In New Zealand, the St John Ambulance Service treats and transports approximately 400,000 people every year. We have more than 600 operational vehicles and 205 ambulance stations.

First aid is at the heart of St John. In addition to our ambulance services, we provide training courses, kits and supplies, AEDs. We also provide up-to-date first aid information right here on this website.
