Employee support

We understand there are many elements that contribute to our employees’ sense of satisfaction at work. We are committed to providing access to a variety of support programs that may assist both at work and at home.

• Employee Assistance Program - a professional, free, counselling service available to all employees and their immediate families.
• Keeping In Touch - program for all employees who will be away from work for an extended period.

Employee recognition awards

This program recognises employees whose performance and achievements demonstrate their commitment to our values and expectations. The program is aligned to our six core values.

Safety Awards

Safety and Quality is one of our values and is an integral part of everything we do. The Safety Awards is an annual program which promotes, recognises and celebrates excellence, innovation, commitment and leadership in occupational health and safety.

Performance and development

We believe that great people deliver great results. Our success is dependant upon the contribution of each employee. We want you to be the best you can be by ensuring you know what you need to do, get feedback on your progress and receive ongoing development.

Employee Engagement Survey

We are committed to making the Blood Service a great place to work and really value employee feedback. So, we hold an annual survey to capture and act on feedback.

Workplace giving program

The workplace giving program helps our selected charity partners (the Red Cross and the Cancer Council) in their invaluable work. Donations come straight out of fortnightly pay and are tax deductible. It’s very easy and makes a huge difference.
