This donation is in honour of all those first responders who keep us safe everyday! Being the mother of a police officer, I know first hand the dedication and risks they take on a daily basis for the benefit and care of the community.

Thank you to all of our First Responders who are volunteers mainly and work around the clock to assist our local community in times of need and in emergencies. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to be present and link with local students today at Frank Partridge VC Public School to engage with young people to talk about the roles of First Responders. We are Australian Red Cross Emergency Volunteers who attend Evacuation and Recovery Centres following disasters. We also network with our follow First Responders and it was great to see the RFS, Marine Rescue, Dept of Health, NSW Ambulance, NSW Police, Wires demonstrating how they can assist in emergencies and disasters.

Today, and every day, we extend our sincere thanks to the dedicated first responders who serve our communities around the clock. Whether it is responding to emergencies, providing critical medical care, protecting lives and property, or offering support during people’s most difficult moments, your commitment, courage and professionalism do not go unnoticed. While “Thank a First Responder Day” provides an opportunity to formally recognise your contributions, our gratitude extends far beyond a single day on the calendar. We are thankful every day for the sacrifices you make, the challenges you face, and the reassurance you provide to communities across Australia. Thank you for all that you do, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

thank you

Our sincere thanks to each and every one of our First Responders. I genuinely feel that each and every day is First Responder Day, and if we see a First Responder from any of our services, we need to go out of our way to say “Thankyou for what you do for us!’ I instilled this into our children, as they have instilled into their children and I hope upon hope, that this family tradition will continue through future generations of our family. Again to you all, our sincere thanks. Darryl and Deb

You took my 1 year old and myself to hospital when he was having febrile seizures. Something we never experienced before. His temp was so high. The paramedic at the wheel kept directing the one with my baby while talking to me about the weather. I knew what he was doing! But I played along because he was making me feel safe and I knew they both were doing what they had to do. Thank you forever. It’s been six years and I still think about you both.

Thanks to my entire team of paramedics and First Responders for the amazing work you all do everyday providing “Best Care” to all our patinets!

Saying thank you will never feel like enough.

My family and myself are so beyond grateful for all the emergency personnel that have risked their own safety and wellbeing to aid and care for not only myself, but my daughter, our family members and the general public. I personally wouldnt be here without yall! Also sending love and care to the families of emergency personnel.

For the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your service ❤️

To all Australian first responders, the team at A T PsychHealth thank you for your courage, dedication, and service. Your commitment to protecting and helping our communities, often in challenging and dangerous circumstances, is deeply appreciated. We are grateful for everything you do. 🙏

A huge thank you to all of our amazing first responders in the Cootamundra area.

It takes a special person to be a FR, please know that you are very appreciated.

As someone who needed our local fire brigade, I am extremely grateful.

My family can’t thank first responders enough! My little man has had two visits my the paramedics in Cairns, one resulting in a hospital stay, and the live and care he received was too notch! We’re so blessed to live in a community that has a wonderful team of first responders serving us. Forever grateful ❤️

Thank you for the difference you make every day.

Thank you to the first responders who show up in people’s most frightening, life-changing moments with calm, skill and care.

Three years ago, I experienced a subarachnoid haemorrhage while pregnant, and the people who responded that day are a huge part of the reason both myself and my daughter are still here.

Your work matters more than words can really capture. Thank you for your courage, steadiness and compassion, not only for the people you save, but for the families whose lives continue because of you.

Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. Without you lives are lost, you give hope where there would be none without you.
You give so much for us and people who you do not know and often are given a hard time for this, I am sorry that happens.

Thank you to our first responders!

We are so grateful for all the hard work, care and support that you provide to the community every day. It makes a difference knowing there is someone out there who cares and is ready to step up and look after us.

I have been a member of the RFS since 1980 (BFB at the time) and have worked alongside many of the other first responder organisations at a variety of incidents. I would like to say a very big THANK YOU to all, as I understand firsthand how being a first responders affects those waiting at home while we’re out doing our thing!

Thank you for the countless hours of incredible service you provide to the community

Dear all first responders. thank you for being here to help Australia from Thomas :]

I would like to acknowledge our amazing first responders across all disciplines. On the 10th February, 2024, my youngest son Nick was involved in a skydiving accident in Darkan, WA. We were blessed, as being a public event, St John ambulance volunteers were in attendance and worked on Nick immediately, bringing him back. They were supported by Collie Paramedics and the incredible team from the RAC Rescue Chopper who stabilised Nick and transported him to RPH. Sadly, Nick suffered a catastrophic brain injury and despite best efforts of all involved he was placed on life support. Nick was a registered organ donor and due to the incredible effort of first responders, Nick’s heart is still beating strongly, both kidneys are functioning, two recipients have had their sight restored through donation of Nick’s corneas and over 30 recipients are benefitting from bone and tissue donation.
You all made this possible, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for all the great work you do

Thank you to the police service members for getting up every day and showing up to assist the communities. Thank you for being strong and taking on challenges members of the public dont see. Just remember you are braver than you believe,stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Over the past few years I have been attended to by several paramedics and nurses and they have all done an amazing job. They were all focused on care & compassion and for this I say THANK YOU !!

First responders walk amongst us like ordinary people – but they are extraordinary people! Not all heroes wear capes!

Hi guys,
I have recently finished Tim Booth’s book ‘You called an ambulance for what?’ and am appauled of the behaviour of our people. You have supported me on a number of emergencies and your professionalism has always been on point. Cheers for working those ungodly hours and I hope that you may always find a great cup of coffee any hour of the day.

As one of those that have attended so many community recovery’s over the years (27)
I’m grateful to the communities that always always pull together to show us humanity at the worst times – my heart and spirit has often been lifted by the tru spirit of mateship

To every first responder who shows up day after day with courage, compassion and commitment – thank you. Thank you for the long hours, the missed moments, the unseen sacrifices and for standing beside people in some of their most difficult and vulnerable times.

And to the families behind the scenes – the ones who miss milestones, special occasions and precious time with loved ones so they can continue serving our communities – thank you. Your support and sacrifice never go unnoticed.

We owe you all so much more, because somehow “thank you” never feels quite enough.

You are our unsung heroes.
Thank you all so much for taking care of us and keeping us safe.

Thanks for your community service everyday. I appreciate all you do.

We were on holiday in Terrigal 7 years ago when my husband suddenly collapsed. Two ambulances came with intensive care paramedics and they were amazing. The care my husband received between the paramedics, and the emergency team at Gosford Hospital, saved his life. It was a very complicated health event and I still can’t believe the team figured it out. Thank you from my daughters and I for saving him for us!

Thank you Zac and all – you turned up so fast after I rang 000 and your response had the potential to make a difference between life and death. x x x

Thank you to all First Responders especially Browns Plains and Crestmead Police Stations who supported me and my family on my sister’s passing. Thank you to Browns Plains Ambulance for looking after me on Origin night a few years back and stayed with me at QE2. Also to Browns Plains Fires Station who helped us when my husband melted the Weber and gave my daughter a seat in the fire truck. You are all appreciated as well as your families for all your sacrifices you make to keep our community safe.

Thank you for your effort, long hours, dedication. Your bravery is outstanding!

Thank you for all your hard work and making sure to always being there to protect us and providing assistance to us all!

Thankyou so much for looking after our community 💗💗 You are all greatly appreciated

Thankyou for sacrificing your time to make the world a better place
