And we're always looking at ways to make sure our donors are also safe to give.
So, yeah, we're very fortunate that safety is such a big part of blood donation in Australia.
Absolutely.
Blood donation is such a magic way to help somebody else, somebody you'll never know, somebody you'll never meet.
But it's such a selfless and altruistic way to help others.
We did see record numbers of people turn out after Bondi.
I guess the real challenge for Lifeblood now is that we see around 35,000 people come in and donate blood every year once, but they don't return.
And that's really challenging for us.
So I guess what we're hoping is that all of those people who came out and donated after Bondi, if they can please come back, we'd appreciate that.
We know there's around 20,000 people out there who did come in and donate after the Bondi attacks that are, you know, coming up to being eligible to come back in to donate.
So we do need those regular donations.
