At Workplace Emergency Management (WEM), our mission has always been about people—keeping them safe, building resilience, and supporting communities. That mission doesn’t stop at the workplace. It extends into the wider community, and one of the most impactful ways we can give back is through blood donation.

Why We Donate

Every single day in Australia, people rely on donated blood. Accident victims, cancer patients, mothers during childbirth, and those living with ongoing medical conditions often need blood and blood products to survive. The need is constant, and the supply depends entirely on the generosity of donors.

At WEM, we believe in stepping forward where we can make a difference. That’s why we’ve registered a team with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. Through this team effort, our staff are contributing regularly to a cause that’s close to our hearts—saving lives through something as simple as donating blood.

More Than an Individual Act

For some of our team members, like Brad, blood donation has been a lifelong commitment.

Motivated by real-life stories of how blood donations save lives in emergencies and vital medical treatments, Brad and fellow team members have become passionate advocates for this initiative at WEM.

But we don’t see blood donation as an individual effort. Every time one of our team donates, it’s counted towards the collective impact of Team Workplace Emergency Management. Together, we’re amplifying the power of a single act of kindness into something much bigger.

An Invitation to You

We know not everyone can donate—and that’s okay. But if you can, we’d love for you to join us. You don’t need to be part of WEM to make a difference. You can donate as an individual or simply start a conversation with family and friends about why blood donation matters.

Together, We Save Lives

At WEM, safety and care underpin everything we do. Donating blood is one more way we put those values into action—not just in workplaces, but across our whole community.

So far this year, WEM employees have made 9 donations of whole blood and plasma, with the potential to save up to 27 lives.

The blood you give today might be the reason someone else celebrates another birthday, another milestone, another tomorrow.

So, whether you’re already a donor, considering making your first appointment, or simply sharing this message, you’re part of something important.

Donate if you can. Encourage if you can’t. Every bit helps.
