Yes. To be a member of St John Youth you must be between the ages of 11 - 18. To be eligible to enroll or join the program you must have reached your 11th birthday and not yet have turned 17.  

Currently, St John Youth divisions operate in Moonah and Launceston.

If you are located elsewhere, we still encourage you to complete the Expression of Interest (EOI) form. Should there be sufficient demand in your area, we will explore the possibility of establishing a new division.

Protecting and promoting the wellbeing of children and young people is central to our culture and the way we operate.  We are committed to continuing to provide a safe space for all children and young people, whether they are learning lifesaving skills, volunteering with us or present to us in a medical emergency.

Lots of fun activities and heaps of learning about first aid care and personal safety. Youth members will also develop their skills in communication, teamwork and leadership. There are events to participate in, and competitions and camps to join with certificates and badges to be attained.

You'll be asked to attend a meeting night once a week during school term to access these activities and learning opportunities.
 

St John encourages parents and carers to take part in our youth program and welcome the feedback that parents, carers and youth members provide. Our youth policies and programs have been developed in consultation with parents and young people and we often have projects we want parent and carer input on.

We also communicate and seek parent and carer input through dedicated newsletters and Q&A forums. If you or your child has any specific feedback that you would like to provide us, you can send an email to youth@stjohntas.org.au or, if you would like to know get more involved, please reach out to your child's local division.
