About us
Lifeblood is funded by Australian governments to provide life-giving blood, plasma, transplantation and biological products for world-leading health outcomes. We serve over 25 million people stretched across 7 million square kilometres. We’re united through the power of humanity to build a healthier nation.
Join a life-giving team
Working at Lifeblood is more than a job or career, it’s an opportunity to be part of something that matters.
The work we do is, quite literally, life-changing. So, it takes some incredible and passionate people to get it done. There are over 3,700 employees (and over 1,000 non-donor volunteers) working hard at Lifeblood and making sure everything keeps running smoothly. Nurses in donor centres, scientists in labs, office staff at computers — everyone has an important part to play.Â
Great employee benefits
Salary packaging, on-the-job training, flexible working, employee awards, charity and fundraising, regular employee engagement surveys, social clubs and a focus on work-life fit. And that’s not all.
Inclusion & diversity
At Lifeblood, we’re passionate people working together for a single, life-changing purpose. But, our success can only come by enabling every person to contribute their own perspectives, knowledge and experience.
We’re reinventing our standard for diversity, equity and inclusion — in how we operate within, as well as how we impact Australian communities through improved health outcomes. We seek out other people’s perspectives, meet challenges with curiosity and ask questions. Only by valuing differences — whether race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, ability, religion, generation, sexual orientation, or views — will we achieve inclusion and belonging for our team members, donors and recipients.
