Leverage your executive expertise to create lasting community impact.

For over 140 years, St John Ambulance Victoria (SJAV) has been saving lives and building resilient communities through first aid. As one of Victoria's most trusted not-for-profits, we deliver high-quality first aid training, event health services, emergency response and community programs reaching more than 300,000 Victorians each year.

We are now inviting three accomplished professionals to join our Board of Directors, bringing senior-level expertise in Finance, Technology/Digital, and Fundraising/Sponsorship. This is a rare opportunity to apply your strategic leadership and industry knowledge to an organisation that makes a profound and tangible difference every day.

Above all, you'll share our commitment to service, integrity and community impact, contributing curiosity, expertise and balanced perspectives to Board discussions.
