National Blood Donor Week 2022 - Be the Lifeblood of Australia

Over 8.3 million Australians will need blood in their lifetime.

When you give blood, you’re more than just a donor. You’re the Lifeblood of your community. Your football team. Your family. Your book club. Your neighbourhood.

You’re the Lifeblood of Australia.

Donors are part of a community. They may lead very different lives, but they have one important thing in common: giving life.

There’s a lot more to blood than meets the eye.

Whether you give blood or plasma (a powerful part of your blood), your donations can make an immeasurable difference to the patients who need them — and everyone in their lives.

People who receive blood are grateful every time they explore the countryside, go for a run, play Monopoly, or argue about what to have for dinner. Everyday activities that are possible because of donors. Donors like you.

Thank you for being the Lifeblood of Australia this National Blood Donor Week.
