National Blood Donor Week

June 15, 2026
🩸 National Blood Donor Week Last week, our EXPHYS team came together to donate blood throughout the week as part of our annual team charity event in support of Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. We are donating with Lifeblood to honour people living with cancer, demonstrating our DNA Value of CARE , and helping people stay engaged in life, work & what matters most. Blood and plasma donations play a vital role in saving lives, providing essential support for Australians undergoing cancer treatment, recovering from trauma, and managing serious health conditions. A few facts that remind us why every donation matters: ❤️ 1 in 3 Australians will need blood or blood products in their lifetime. 🩸 A blood donation is needed every 18 seconds. 💛 It can take up to 13 plasma donations to create a single vial of some plasma medicines. * Australian Red Cross Lifeblood (2026) . We're proud to contribute in a small way to something that has such a big impact, and we hope it inspires others to get involved too. Whether you donate, encourage a friend, or simply help spread awareness, every action counts.
