Oshadhi, Dinura, and Oneth are a life-saving bunch of students from the Brisbane Sinhala School. They created a Lifeblood Team for friends and family to donate blood. As they eagerly await their turn to donate at 18, the group personally invited keen donors through community outreach, fully understanding the impact of every donation. #lifebloodau

We’re looking for a new community member to join our Ethics Committee. Our researchers study every aspect of blood donation, from understanding what motivates people to donate, to ensuring the safety of the blood products we supply for patients. Our Ethics Committee helps to ensure that all this research is conducted ethically. You don’t need any specific experience to join, and you can be based anywhere in Australia. If this sounds like a good fit for you, please complete the survey at https://lnkd.in/gVYgJXFi by Sunday 27 October. #lifebloodau

After Matilda was born at just 1.3 kilos, donated breast milk was life-changing. Now, mum Sarah's proud to repay the favour by donating her excess breast milk, in hopes that her donation helps other babies in the same way. We always need new milk donors, head to www.lifeblood.com.au/milk to learn more. #lifebloodau

After receiving blood and platelets during cancer treatment seven years ago, gold became Sheree's healing theme as an artist and she's grateful to continue receiving plasma - a.k.a liquid gold. IVIG made from plasma donations acts as a powerful ally in Sheree's fight against Myasthenia Gravis, providing essential antibodies that help strengthen her immune system and improve muscle function. #lifebloodau https://lnkd.in/gPz7hSi4

Think people with tattoos can't donate blood? You can donate blood just 1 week after getting a tattoo, and plasma straight away if it was done at a licensed studio in Australia. Tag a friend with tatts and let them know they can be a lifesaver too! #lifebloodau

Instead of being stuck to a wheelchair, barely able to stand, unable to think straight, and asleep most of the time, weekly infusions of immunoglobulin made from plasma donations let Siobhan do all the things she loves on a regular basis. #lifebloodau

Ready to save more lives, more often? Here's how: 1. Arrive, check in and fill out the donor questionnaire. 2. Chat with a staff member and do a quick health check 3. Donate! The process is called ‘apheresis’ - a special machine draws blood from your arm, separates out the yellowish plasma and returns the red cells back to you. 4. Rest for a few minutes. 5. Eat up! Have a snack and a drink before you go. #lifebloodau | https://lnkd.in/gdDEEGum

For Christine, Nick's the reason. Christine was inspired to donate blood during her partner Nick’s treatment for Leukaemia. One year since his passing, she continues to donate plasma in his name, using the arm that holds his memorial tattoo. #lifebloodau

As proud Sydney Swans supporters we’re wishing the #Bloods all the luck for the AFL - Australian Football League Grand Final! We’re not saying our partnership had anything to do with it. But we’re not not saying that. #lifebloodau

We all have reasons; whether you’re a donor, a recipient of blood products, an advocate for all #lifebloodau do, or someone whose friend or family member once needed blood products. If you’re not a donor, think of this as an opportunity to thank and inspire others to donate, or perhaps write a more general reason why donating blood is an important thing to do.
