From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
St John Ambulance Australia employs the use of ranks, as an organisation with its roots in the military. Its rank structure is based upon that of St John Ambulance in the United Kingdom, while also taking inspiration from the Australian Army.
St John Ambulance South Australia no longer wears rank markings on green operational uniforms. Epaulettes show either clinical role or operational role in wording only.
Qualification Stripes can be mixed for people who have multiple qualifications[citation needed].

NB: Enrolled Nurse level is not recognised with St John Ambulance South Australia credentialing systems[citation needed].
Other insignia
These insignia are worn on the uniform to distinguish an individual's level in the organisation. Gorget patches are worn on the collar of the shirt or lapel of the jacket of State and National Officers. Grade I Officers and above may wear a peak cap with different braiding on the peak for National Officers and Chief Officers.[4]
