who are they, never heard of them lol

Dunno in a white station wagon, wearing no uniform just civvie clothes with reflective vests and first aid bum bags i counted about 20 standing around talking, wapol/fesa had vehicles there.

They had 2 portable buildings with a fridge and a desk no bed etc so dunno. ALAS did alot off work for the city of freo at one stage and that stopped too.

No sja im assuming all at sky show, last year a SJA team leader was down there for the event so was surprised to sja this year.

Sounds like Surf Life Saveing first aid division.

I used them for a Car show last year as sja wanted $1200.
They had a plain white station wagon 2 chairs a tent and desk.they were in civvies with reflective bibs that said first aid

$1200 ouch what for a first aid post and staff ? or ambulance ?

first aid post and 4 first aiders

wow and once upon a time it was just a donation to have them at an event hahaha

It has not been a donation for years,I left them in 94 and it was a donation of $750 for first aid post and $7.50 per hour for a first aider.Now the prioce has gone up its now cheaper for a lot of sports clubs to use Bullsbrook or Lanclen sja volliers as they are much much cheaper

Are fair enough, what do they charge for sja vollie a/o's to attend an event then, i thought it would be the same across the board but guess being a form off "independant" subcentre they can charge what they want ?

They have that here too, it funds new fire/ambulance stations, equipment and vehicles
