A terrorist attack at Bondi Beach on December 14, 2025, leaving 16 dead and dozens injured, triggered a massive surge in blood donations across Australia, particularly in Newcastle, Wollongong, and Penrith.
Lifeblood reported 20,000 national appointments by 1pm Monday, with a third from New South Wales, overwhelming centers and causing website crashes.
The Lifeblood Newcastle Donor Centre, normally serving 100 donors daily, expected at least 200.
Demand for O negative blood, critical in trauma care, was especially high.
Emergency blood shipments arrived from other states, and officials stressed the need for sustained donations over the coming weeks, as up to 100 donations may be needed to save one life.
Donors are urged to book via lifeblood.com.au, 13 14 95, or the Lifeblood app.
