Our Transfusion teams manage the safe supply, storage and release of donor blood and blood products from our hospital laboratory blood banks.

We manage transfusions to replace or supplement missing or malfunctioning elements of the blood and immune systems. This may be due to cancer, surgery, pregnancy and childbirth, anaemia, bleeding disorders, accident or trauma and more.

Service overview 

Our teams provide critical support by advising clinicians on the appropriate blood to give patients depending on their blood type.

We supply donor blood products to:

• rural hospital networks
• NSW Ambulance
• rescue helicopters
• various other services.

We work with the Ambulance Aeromedical Control Centre (ACC) to ensure retrieval teams can carry blood to save patients with critical bleeding from car accidents to shark attacks, on the ground or in the air.

We review our blood stocks daily to minimise wastage and ensure safe, timely supply of products for patients.
