Who we are

There's more to Lifeblood than blood

Lifeblood is funded by Australian governments to provide life-giving blood, plasma, transplantation and biological products for world-leading health outcomes.

We serve over 25 million people stretched across 7 million square kilometres. We’re united through the power of humanity to build a healthier nation.

Our donors are our lifeblood. They’re indispensable and inspirational. Without them, we can’t deliver the services that are critical to the health of our nation and their generosity drives s to continually improve our world-class capability.

We’ll always be there for Australia. Not just with blood, but through our clinical excellence, commitment to education and our ongoing investment in research and development. We’re a team of experts who deliver safe, high-quality products time and time again.

We work tirelessly to develop innovative solutions; whether it be for blood, organ matching, tissue typing, breast milk or other life-giving biological products.

Lifeblood is a division of the Australian Red Cross Society and we subscribe fully to its humanitarian principles. However, we’re separate from the humanitarian arm of the Red Cross and our blood operations are funded by Australian governments, not monetary donations.
