Help keep Australia’s blood supply strong this Easter

With Easter just around the corner, Lifeblood Coffs Harbour is OPEN on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Blood donations often drop over the long weekends, but patients in need don’t take a holiday. Trauma victims, mothers giving birth, and cancer patients still rely on life-saving transfusions—and your help is crucial.

Since tropical cyclone Alfred, there has been a decrease in donations and an increase in need making this even more critical!

Additionally, clinical evidence now shows that Haemochromatosis, a chronic health condition, can save lives by donating blood at Lifeblood turning their treatment into a life-saving gift.

Despite this, thousands of bags of usable blood are discarded at pathology services each year when they could instead be saving lives. More on this to follow…

Encourage your patients, friends, family, staff and neighbours to donate at a Lifeblood centre and be part of something bigger.

Together, we can ensure Australia’s blood supply remains strong.

Call 13 14 95 or visit lifeblood.com.au to book a donation.
