- Australian Red Cross Blood Service
The Australian Red Cross Blood Service ARCBS is a branch of the Australian Red Cross . It is the body primarily responsible for blood donation and related services in Australia. History Initially, the Red Cross s Australian blood services were managed by state level organisations. Victoria Australia Victoria s Blood Transfusion Service was founded in 1929, and by 1941 each state had its own Organ Transfusion Service. Also in 1941, the National Emergency Blood Transfusion Service later the National Blood Transfusion Committee was formed to coordinate the state groups. In 1945, the Red Cross took over blood and serum preparation units established by the Australian Army . In 1995, a government report recommended the foundation of a separate national structure, and the ARCBS was formed in 1996, encompassing the old state and territory blood donation transfusion services. Relationship with CSL ARCBS and its predecessors had a long standing relationship with the CSL Limited Commonwealth Serum Laboratories CSL , a government medical body founded in 1916. The Red Cross supplied CSL with donated blood for use in research and manufacture of medical products e.g. serum for transfusion . In 1994, CSL was privatised, becoming CSL Limited. The ARCBS continued to supply CSL with donated blood. This caused a major public relations crisis for the ARCBS when it became known that blood donated for public benefit, without payment, was being used by a private industry for financial gain.
