Our purpose is life-giving blood, plasma, transplantation and biological products for world-leading health outcomes. Through the power of humanity.

We're here for all Australians — all 26.3 million of them. And while our life-giving role started 90 years ago with blood donations, today we facilitate the donation of tissue, organs, breast milk, bone marrow and microbiota. It’s no small task, and it’s all thanks to the dedication of thousands of people from all walks of life working together as one.

Inclusion and diversity

We welcome different perspectives and backgrounds with open minds. We’re proud to foster an environment of diversity and inclusion; a place where people can come together to achieve their best.

Australian Red Cross

Lifeblood is a division of the Australian Red Cross, however we’re separate from the humanitarian arm (we’re actually funded by Australian governments, not financial donations). There are even more volunteer opportunities over at the Red Cross, click here to have a look.
