23.01.2022 Congratulations to Pat Elliot, who was awarded Life Membership to the Chittering Gingin Sub-Centre for her dedicated service as an active Ambulance Officer and Sub-Centre Secretary. Pat has the First Bar to her Ambulance Service medal which recognises 23 years’ service to the Sub-Centre during which time she served as Secretary for 15 years. Pat is very deserving of this award and a great asset to our Sub-Centre and the local community. I’m sure many of you who know Pat would agree!

18.01.2022 We’re sorry, the road closure along Muchea South Road will be in place for an extra two days, until 5am Monday 18 November. The repairs to the surface of the r...oad, were more extensive than anticipated and it’s taking a little longer to finish. The detour continues to be via Great Northern Highway. Night work may also occur during the closure if necessary. Thank you for your patience during these works. For detour map: https://tinyurl.com/vg3z2np See more

18.01.2022 To top off a great night at the Chittering Gingin Sub-Centre Christmas Party, Murray Hyne received his Third Bar to his Ambulance Service medal which officially recognises 27 years of service to the Chittering Gingin Sub-Centre.

Congratulations Murray.

18.01.2022 The St John Chittering/Gingin Committee are pleased to announce that work has commenced to construct a new Sub-Centre building in Bindoon!

14.01.2022 If someone you know has asthma, you may want to read this. It's really important that you use a spacer with a puffer if someone is suffering from an asthma atta...ck. Using a spacer means the patient receives a more effective dose of Ventolin. It could really make a difference if they're having a severe attack. If a spacer is not available to the patient, you can improvise by using a plastic bottle. All you need to do is cut a hole at the bottom and poke the puffer through the space. Always call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency situation, especially if the patient is not breathing normally.

04.01.2022 Good Morning Chittering & Gingin Residents, As part of our standard procedure during COVID-19, and to ensure our patients receive the best and most appropriate prehospital care, our Crews will be asking all patients if they have any flu like symptoms. This is to protect our amazing Volunteers and our Community against the spread of any potentially infectious illness including COVID-19. When calling for an Ambulance, you will be asked by the 000 call taker if you have flu like... symptoms. When our crews arrive, they will ask you the same questions. Please don’t be scared to answer truthfully, even if you think you just have a mild cold. We have strict hygiene measures in place to keep you and our crews safe. Our goal is to help our community stay safe and stop the spread - but we can’t do that without our resilient and fantastic Community behind us. Stay safe! The Chittering-Gingin St John Team
