Every year in June, Lifeblood celebrates over half a million of our donors who make a difference through their generous life-saving blood donations. Each year, around World Blood Donor Day on 14 June, Lifeblood is proud to host National Blood Donor Week — it’s our way of recognising the impact and importance of our wonderful donors.
Why donate blood?
- Blood that’s taken straight from a donor. After it’s donated, we usually separate blood into red blood cells, plasma and platelets in our labs.
- Red blood cells only last 42 days from when they’re donated. Australia needs over 1.7 million donations every year to meet demand: that’s three every minute.
- Did you know one blood donation can save up to three lives? Just think about how many lives you could change by coming back for more.
