Introduction
The Australian and New Zealand Society of Blood Transfusion (ANZSBT) is a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. Our mission is to define and promote best practice in clinical and laboratory transfusion medicine, to promote and support education and research in transfusion medicine and science in Australia and New Zealand and to engage with stakeholders in all areas of transfusion through communication, representation and advocacy.

Fundraising activities carried out by ANZSBT will comply with all relevant laws.
Any communications to the public made in the course of carrying out a fundraising activity shall be truthful and non-deceptive.
