The Richard Morris Centre is the Headquarters of the St Johns Ambulance in the Northern Territory as well as being an active ambulance station.
There is an Emergency Call Button next to the front door for use in an emergency.
The Richard Morris Centre was named after Mr Richard Morris AM KStJ who was
Chairman of the Board of St John for over a quarter of a century.
Richard made an enormous contribution to St John and as
the first Chairman was the driving force behind numerous
successful ventures and ideas including the establishment
of the Ambulance Service.
As St John Chairman from 1977-2000 he was instrumental
in ensuring that St John became the leaders in first aid
services and pre-hospital care.
Richards tireless efforts for St John and the ambulance service were further recognized in 2011 with the institution of The Richard Morris Community Spirit Award, with the inaugural award being presented on Wednesday the 16th March 2011 to the two
winners – Christine Turner for the
Greater Darwin area and Darrin
Whately from Tennant Creek
who was the Regional Winner.
