Blood Drives

During a blood drive, Lifeblood Teams work together to make as many donations as possible in a set time. Every drop counts! Can we count you in?

Current and upcoming blood drives

Each year, industries and organisations across Australia join together to make an incredible number of donations in hundreds of large and small blood drives.
Here are just some of them.
