Other ways to help

If you're eligible to donate, you can give on behalf of someone you love. Simply download a card, book a donation and dedicate it to your loved one today.

Want a gift that requires no money and no agonising over what to get someone who has hobbies you've never heard of? Ask someone to donate plasma or blood on your behalf.

This is another one you can do whether or not you are a blood donor. Gather your eligible mates, workmates, neighbours or family and help them into a regular donating schedule by registering a Lifeblood Team.

Your group can span suburbs or states, every donation made in that group’s name counts toward your lifesaving tally. Surely the best ‘dream team’.

A financial donation to the Red Cross will go towards helping our most vulnerable community members. Donations are tax-deductible and can be made online, so you don’t even need to leave your home to help.

A simple share on social media might be the thing that gets someone to book a donation and save lives. Tag or follow us on:
