Plasma For Life – Join the Plasma Party

Your plasma could be someone’s lifeline.

This October, IDFA and Lifeblood are encouraging the Illawarra community to roll up their sleeves like Wave 96.5 staff and donate plasma to support Australians living with immunodeficiencies.

Come along to the Plasma Party and help get more people rolling up their sleeves this October

Your plasma could be someone’s lifeline, so please roll up your sleeve and help Australians living with immunodeficiencies access the life-saving treatments they rely on.

Join IDFA and Lifeblood for their Plasma Party at the Wollongong Donor Centre in Kembla Street on Friday, October 9, from 10am to 3pm.

Bring a friend, donate plasma and make a difference. One appointment. One donation. A whole lot of difference.

Book with Lifeblood today and donate during their Plasma Party October, or anytime across October’s #PlasmaForLife

Can’t donate Plasma, donation of funds also welcome at – GiveNow – Support Plasma for Life 2026

Around 130 plasma donations are needed every year to treat one person with a primary immunodeficiency. This highlights just how important regular plasma donors are.

Around 1 in 1,000 people are estimated to be affected by primary immunodeficiency. While these conditions can be rare, there are people living in communities across Australia who rely on plasma-derived treatments.

Plasma has more than 18 life-saving uses, including being used to make immunoglobulin treatments for people with immunodeficiencies.

For people with immunodeficiencies, their bodies may not produce enough antibodies to protect them from infections. Immunoglobulin made from donated plasma can provide those missing antibodies.

A plasma donation only takes up to an hour, and eligible donors can donate plasma as often as – every two weeks.
