Canberra press corps picks St John Ambulance for 2026 dinner charity

The journalists who cover Parliament House chosen St John Ambulance's Youth Program as the charity partner for their annual Midwinter Ball dinner on 1 July. St John Ambulance teaches first aid and youth skills. The press gallery announced the choice early so the organisation could promote it and raise more money from the dinner's auction—a way to mix serious work with supporting an uncontroversial cause.
