The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is a division of the Australian Red Cross. Our role is to supply the community with safe, high quality blood and blood products, as well as organ and bone marrow services for transplantation.
1 in 3 Australian’s will need blood at some stage during their life. To be able to supply lifesaving support to these patients the Blood Service needs to collect 29,000 blood donations each week.
The need for blood is constant as some donated products only have a five day shelf life.
Our ability to support patient needs is only made possible through the incredible donations of over half a million unpaid voluntary donors.
Having an individual donate once is great, but imagine how many lives an entire workforce could save.
