WHO WE ARE

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is entrusted with the supply of Australia’s blood. We collect, test, process and distribute life–saving blood products. We also deliver world– class research and provide expertise in diagnostic, transplantation and other clinical services.

MORE ABOUT US

One in three Australians will need blood in their lifetime. Every year we collect 1.3 million blood donations thanks to our 600,000 voluntary donors. Our manufacturing centres then test, process and deliver the blood to hundreds of healthcare providers in Australia. The majority of blood collections are used by hospitals for treating people with cancers, blood disorders and those undergoing emergency surgery. Managing the country’s blood supply is a considerable task and our ongoing challenge is to ensure that blood products are efficiently collected and supplied at the right time and quality to meet demand.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are committed to having the right people, in the right job, at the right time. Each employee plays a vital role in the business of saving lives. We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workforce who are customer-focused, adaptable and thrive within a culture of continuous improvement.

As an equal opportunity employer we value workplace diversity and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates from across Australia’s diverse communities, including the LGBTI community. Not everybody gets to contribute to life-saving work, but here at the Blood Service you can be proud that your work really matters.

At the Blood Service we believe that diversity is more than just recognising difference – it is about leveraging difference and tapping into the diverse perspectives and approaches of each individual employee. We share a firm belief that people perform better when they can be themselves at work. Our employee network, GLOW (Gay, Lesbian and Other Workmates) is open to all employees, gay or straight, and is a place where people can show their support for LGBTI people at work.

Francesca Corcoran Regional Administration Team Leader / GLOW Project Group Representative

My four years at the Blood Service have been a constant learning curve, with great career progression. I have been fortunate enough to work across three major divisions – Donor Services, Medical Services and now with the Manufacturing team. I’ve always been out at the Blood Service – sexuality is a non-issue for me at work. Our values of Integrity and Collaboration resonate particularly with me. It means that every day, we are open and honest, that we treat one another with dignity, courtesy and respect, and we celebrate and encourage diversity. This makes for a fantastic, safe workplace that I am proud to be a part of.
