The Australian Red Cross Blood Service

1 IN 3 AUSTRALIANS WILL NEED BLOOD -- WE SUPPLY IT.


The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is a division of the Australian Red Cross. We’re funded by the federal, state and territory governments of Australia to supply the community with safe, high quality blood and blood products, as well as organ and bone marrow services for transplantation.

Our important work is only possible through the incredible donations of over half a million unpaid voluntary donors.

 

Saving lives through the power of humanity

The Blood Service is a division of the Australian Red Cross, so we’re part of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent community – the world’s oldest humanitarian organisation – and we subscribe fully to its humanitarian principles.

 

Our purpose

Life-giving blood, plasma, transplantation and biological products for world-leading health outcomes.

Through the power of humanity.
