His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley attended the St John Ambulance NSW annual awards ceremony held at the University of Sydney’s Great Hall on Saturday 25 after being sworn into office only three weeks prior. In his address, His Excellency said it was an honour to stand on the shoulders of giants as the work of St John is invaluable to the community.
St John NSW commissioner Didier Moutia, said that the annual awards ceremony is a premier event for the organisation whose core purpose is to empower people to help others in times of need.
“It’s a chance to celebrate and publicly recognise not only St John members, but people of the greater community. Whether it’s for performing lifesaving first aid, an act of bravery or outstanding voluntary service – all of the awardees are to be commended for their amazing achievements.” Mr Moutia said.
