It takes one blood donation every 8 seconds to meet the ongoing needs of patients across the country. Yet only 1 in 30 people donate blood, while 1 in 3 of us are likely to need blood in our lifetime.

With only 3% of our national population being responsible for supplying 1.3 million blood donations every year, you can see why new donors are needed.

You’ll be helping the one in three people who will need blood during their lives while also helping boost our Lifeblood tally.

Every blood or plasma donation Global Medical Foundation (GMF) Australia makes can go a long way. Make it count by assigning your donation to our Lifeblood tally. Sign up online, reviewing the attached Member Self-Serve Guide or simply mention to our Lifeblood team when you visit the donor centre.

GMFA’s blood donors have been rolling up their sleeves to donate blood and plasma on a monthly basis. 18 donations have been made in the first quarter of this year, equating to 54 lives being saved.

Thanks for your support.
