Charles Sturt University (CSU) has this week welcomed the Australian Red Cross mobile Blood Donor service onto its Bathurst Campus to encourage staff, students and community members to give blood. Professor Greg Walker, Head of CSU’s Bathurst Campus, said, “We know that, according to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, the gap between the number of blood donors and the number of Australians who need blood will widen unless Australians step up their efforts as blood donors. CSU is proud to support this vital service and encourage our staff, students and community members to give blood regularly. We’ve supported Red Cross blood donations on the Bathurst Campus since the 1970s.” Potential donors should contact the service directly on 13 14 95 to make an appointment, and allow at least 45 minutes for the donation process.
