St John Ambulance is offering triple time shifts to paramedics as it faces a massive staff shortage while trying to meet its response time targets.

Statement from St John WA News Media Lead Kate Hedley:

St John is experiencing high demand during the winter months and is utilising every lever it has to ensure ambulances and paramedics are on the road and ready to respond and care for the community. St John WA can categorically deny “quadruple time”.
