This month @lifebloodau launched the Financial Services Blood Drive. Great to see Bank First reps like Diana Gunawan step up! With more than 33,000 donations needed weekly and one donation saving three lives, I urge others in finance to roll up a sleeve.

It was great to be at York St Donor Centre in Sydney as @Lifebloodau welcomed new donors following today's removal of most sexual activity wait times for plasma donation. Now more gay and bisexual men, transgender people, sex workers, and people on PrEP can now help save lives.

The final numbers are in! Our incredible health services, who help save lives at work, have helped save an extra 30,000 lives simply by donating blood and plasma at @lifebloodau. Thank you to everyone who donated for your commitment and generosity.
