Wishing a joyful and safe Diwali to all who celebrate — including @Lifebloodau donors, staff and volunteers. Diwali is a time of light, reflection, and renewal. Lifeblood is proud to stand alongside communities who bring these values to life through the gift of donation.

What an inspiring story of giving back together @lifebloodau — Katia reaching her 20th plasma donation while her mum makes her very first. It’s a powerful reminder of how generosity and commitment can inspire those closest to us.

Katia made her first donation last year and set out on a mission to bring her loved ones along for the ride. Here she’s celebrating her 20th donation, while her mum proudly marks her very first.​ Tag your donation buddy or who inspired you to start. #lifebloodau

Plasma is now the most in-demand blood product in Australia, and @Lifebloodau has just made it easier to see how supply is tracking. A new plasma drop has been added to Lifeblood’s blood supply tracker, displaying real-time plasma supply levels. https://t.co/5uggTZKoco

Joey is 2 years old. He’s the only child in Australia reliant on regular plasma treatment for severe Factor V deficiency. Right now, plasma demand is at a record high. @Lifebloodau needs thousands of new donors to help kids like Joey thrive.

It’s International Plasma Awareness Week and it’s time to talk about the power of plasma. At Lifeblood, we supply 6,500 plasma medicines and transfusions to hospitals every day. We’re shining a light on its role in modern medicine and the generosity of donors who make it possible

Plasma is yellow, mostly water and a part of your blood that holds all other blood cells. Plasma can be used in 18 different life-saving treatments and Australia needs a new donation every 33 seconds. Share this post so more people can give the power of plasma. #lifebloodau

Growing blood for tiny patients? It’s happening. Our teams are exploring how to grow red blood cells from stem cells found in umbilical cords. It’s innovation like this that brings us closer to tailored blood for our tiniest patients. #lifebloodau

Keep an eye out for @lifebloodau's red mobile centre as it returns to the @AFL Footy Fest this year! With only 64 appointments left, make the long weekend even more grand by rolling up your sleeve and donating blood. I guarantee you'll walk away feeling like a winner.

30,000 litres of donated breast milk since 2018. That’s thousands of tiny lives supported and it’s all thanks to incredible donors like Mel. After giving birth to Leo, Mel signed up to donate, knowing her milk could help premature babies. #lifebloodau

Proud to see @lifebloodau and @lifesavingqld team up. Jesse saves lives in the surf and by donating blood, giving back after needing 30 units of blood in the past. Talk about a real-life hero! Let’s continue to support life-saving efforts—on the coast and in the donor chair.

Matilda’s story is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Blood donors played a quiet but critical role in her recovery from cancer. I’m proud of the impact @Lifebloodau donors continue to make every day.

Matilda, aka Toots, went through rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery during treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that doesn’t allow muscle cells to develop properly. The quiet heroes in Matilda’s recovery? The generosity of blood donors. #lifebloodau

Thank you to our emergency services heroes like Stephen Sewell, Chief Fire Officer, NT. During the @Lifebloodau Emergency Services Blood Drive, they made 14,000+ donations and welcomed 450+ new donors—saving lives when regular donations were down. Their impact is extraordinary.

I'd like to acknowledge all the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, carers, and those who’ve embraced a fatherly role in someone’s life this Father's Day. I hope today brings you a moment to pause, connect, and feel appreciated. A special mention to donors like Greg, a true role model.

Declan grew up watching Greg give blood and couldn’t wait to roll up his sleeve. Now they’ve hit milestones together. Here’s to the dads who lead by example, proving that even one donation can spark a lifetime of giving. Thinking about donating? Book now. https://t.co/FWWbTIERUe
