Corporate

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is a division of the Australian Red Cross. The Board reports to the Red Cross Board, which has overall responsibility and oversight and appoints all non-executive Board members.

Australian governments fully fund the Blood Service for the provision of blood products and services to the Australian community. Consequently, we have specific financial and other reporting obligations to the National Blood Authority.

The Board plays a vital role in ensuring the governance of the Blood Service. It is responsible for the organisation’s efficient operation and takes the lead in setting the culture of operating in a responsible way within the community.
