Year 12s, are you ready to save lives?

You’re 18 (or nearly there), and that means you can officially become a blood donor. It’s one of the most powerful ways to make a difference in your community.

Every blood donation can save up to three lives. Cancer patients, people recovering from surgery and newborns are all counting on donors like you.

Here’s the deal

  • It takes an hour
  • You get free snacks (yes, party pies, chocolate milk and popcorn are involved)
  • You walk out a hero

No cape required. Just your arm, a bit of time, and some heart.

If you’re healthy, 18, and keen to save lives, it’s time to book your first donation. Why not grab a few mates, donate together, and start a life-saving tradition.

To register, check you’re eligible and book your donation visit lifeblood.com.au, download the Lifeblood app or call 13 14 95
