Local Emu Plains First Aid Hero Receives Top Honour

St John Ambulance NSW (St John) is proud to announce local Emu Plains resident, Stephen Green, has been recognised for dedicating a remarkable 12 years of valued and proficient voluntary service to the organisation. Mr Green received an esteemed Service Medal of the Order at the St John 2015 Annual Awards Ceremony, held over the weekend at Sydney University. This year 62 volunteers received a Service Medal – a cohort that has collectively provided 1,375 years of service, and dedicated at minimum 81,420 hours of duty. Based on tradition inherited through St John’s proud historical roots that date back 130 years, Service Medals are awarded to volunteers after 12 years of service, and for every five years thereafter. St John Commissioner, Didier Moutia, said to receive a Service Award was a testament to a volunteer’s commitment to gaining a high level of first aid expertise, and their ongoing care for the health and safety of the NSW community. “To be recognised for a proficient year of service with St John is an outstanding achievement. Annually, volunteers must complete advanced first aid re-accreditation to ensure they are fully trained in the most upto-date medical techniques, re-certify their CPR skills and complete a minimum of 60 duty hours of service,” Commissioner Moutia said.
