St John Safe Town is a statewide community initiative designed to improve first aid readiness, mobility safety and emergency preparedness across Tasmania.
We work alongside local residents, businesses and community groups to deliver practical, hands-on support that helps people stay safe, confident and independent.
This is not just about first aid kits and AEDs. It is about building safer communities together.
