Defence Blood Challenge 2020 - Message from Chief of Navy
Channel: Royal Australian Navy
Date: 2020-09-02

The Australian Defence Force and Department of Defence has kicked off the 2020 Defence Blood Challenge. I encourage all Royal Australian Navy personnel, our Navy families and industry partners to donate if able.

I expect Navy to lead the charge in reaching Defence’s target this year of 9,500 donations.

Defence personnel across Australia are rolling up their sleeves between 1 September and 8 December for the 2020 Defence Blood Challenge. Navy, Army, Air Force, APS members and their families will donate blood products to support the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and save lives. For this year’s challenge, Defence is aiming to contribute 9,500 blood and plasma donations.
