Donate blood through the La Trobe University Lifeblood team
We’ve come together to support Australia’s growing need for plasma. Now, our Lifeblood Team needs your help to support Australia’s need for blood.
This week, Lifeblood issued a critical appeal for 16,000 blood donors as their reserves fell to the lowest level in almost a decade. A prolonged cold and flu season has resulted in fewer donations, lower booking numbers and increased cancellations, while demand from hospitals remains high.
The good news? Our Lifeblood Team has the power to make a significant impact.
While an individual donation can save lives, the collective strength of a Lifeblood Team can help shift blood supply levels at a time when every drop counts. When workplaces like ours rally together, the effect is immediate and meaningful.
Please join us by booking a donation as soon as possible.

Most people are more likely to be eligible to donate than they think, and now is the time to step forward. Whether you’re a regular donor, haven’t donated in a while, or have been thinking about making your first donation, now is the perfect time to step up.
Right now, Australia’s blood supply needs all of us. And with the size, reach and generosity of our La Trobe University Lifeblood Team (3237 total lives saved already this year), we can make a bigger difference than most.
Thank you for helping ensure patients continue to receive the life-saving treatments they rely on every day.
