The award was presented to Liam Miller at the January 26 ceremony with his citation revealing he is a dedicated cadet with St John Ambulance Australia.
Liam has volunteered over 90 hours at local events, assisting members to deliver health services at events and attended over 40 hours of training to hone his skills.
"He is the first to put up his hand to assist with pre-event logistics, including restocking first aid kits, packing vehicles for events and assisting with support tasks," his citation said.

Early last year, Liam's dedication was recognised when he received a NSW Volunteering award for the Orana region.
"Without this young mans dedication and service to St John's Ambulance Australia, Orana combined would not have been able to fulfil their potential and continue to grow their cadet program," the citation read.
"When he isn't volunteering, he is a member of the Wellington High School read Madrid soccer team and was selected as one of 20 students to travel to Madrid in the October 2019 school holidays to participate in the real Madrid Sports High School program.
"He plays soccer as part of a local team and he also umpires junior games."
