Workwear Group Uniforms Proudly Supporting Excellence at the 2025 Council of Ambulance Authorities Congress
In August, our Uniforms team attended the Council of Ambulance Authorities (CAA) Congress in Adelaide — Australasia’s premier event for the ambulance health sector. Bringing together leaders and professionals from across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and beyond, the Congress is a vital forum to collaborate, share knowledge and celebrate innovation across the sector.
As part of our involvement, Workwear Group Uniforms exhibited at the Expo — highlighting our latest uniform innovations — and proudly sponsored the CAA Awards for Excellence for the second year in a row. Supporting the Congress in this way reflects our ongoing commitment to the ambulance and emergency services we partner with — including Ambulance Victoria, Ambulance Tasmania, St John NT, SA Ambulance Service, ACT Emergency Service and St John WA.
A Vital Forum for the Ambulance Sector
The CAA Congress plays an important role in shaping the future of ambulance healthcare. Member services contribute their collective knowledge and expertise, creating a strong foundation for improvement, evidence-based initiatives and innovation across the sector. Through this collaboration, the CAA advocates on behalf of its members in key areas, ensuring ambulance services remain at the forefront of paramedicine and patient-centred care.
Established in 1962, the Council of Ambulance Authorities (CAA) is the peak body for the sector. Its Board brings together CEOs and Commissioners from each member service, working with healthcare professionals and researchers to advance community outcomes. The Congress is a key way CAA amplifies this work — providing a forum to share learnings, discuss challenges and showcase projects making a difference.
“The support of partners like Workwear Group means that the CAA can put on a world-class event covering all aspects of the modern ambulance sector. Workwear Groups' involvement, along with our many other partners and sponsors, shows just how collaborative and supportive this sector is in the pursuit of improving patient outcomes.”

Celebrating Excellence
This year’s Congress once again showcased innovation, collaboration and leadership across the sector. Workwear Group Uniforms was proud to sponsor the CAA Awards for Excellence for the second year running — recognising the people and projects driving meaningful change.
At the Gala Awards night, we presented the Excellence in Staff Development award to St John WA for their outstanding initiative: Deliver Sector-Recognised Family and Domestic Violence Informed Education to Emergency Responders Across All of WA.
The CAA Awards are designed to encourage innovation and enable services to share their work and learn from each other, with each category independently judged by a panel of respected leaders from across the globe.
Continuing Our Commitment
We look forward to continuing to stand alongside the people and services who make such a vital difference in every community.
