Greater Springfield Rotary Bloodbikes Australia Impact Project
Greater Springfield Rotary, have partnered with Bloodbikes Australia to facilitate the sustainability of a volunteer service that directly benefits person in hospitals and healthcare by delivering blood products, medical supplies, and other related medical materials in a timely, efficient, and safe manner.
By way of background, Bloodbikes Australia have been operating for over 5 years as a free volunteer service providing a last resort delivery service to healthcare providers and hospitals. The urgent transportation of blood and urgently needed medical products (on occasion transplant organs), have been transported free of charge by volunteers, registered and trained by Bloodbikes Australia. This service meets a current community challenge within Australia by providing a faster method of transportation as opposed to vehicles that are often delayed in traffic, and saving the Health systems thousands of dollars. While fuel costs have been born by the volunteers, as the service becomes better known, and demand increases, an alternative funding arrangement to ensure sustainability of the service is vital, and Rotary has stepped up to meet this challenge.
The new ‘Impact Project’ involves a partnership known as the Greater Springfield Rotary Bloodbikes Australia Impact Project. Through this partnership, Rotary will offer an avenue for wider community involvement that offers a facility for donations from within Rotary and from the public.

Trained and certified Bloodbike Volunteers deliver the service, while Rotary will manage donations and ensure the service fuel costs are covered. Together 1000’s of patients will receive timely (often urgent) benefits to their health situation.
Currently over 360 volunteers are registered and trained to provide this much needed service across Australia.
With the launch of this ‘Impact Project’ in June 2025 donations from Rotary Clubs and individual Rotarians will be of great value.
So - How much of a “run” do you get for your “money” when you donate?
The average delivery ‘run’ costs about $25.00 in petrol. So, donors may choose to base their donation on how many ‘delivery runs’ they wish to contribute to and in turn how many patients will benefit from their donation.
$25 - one run, $50 - two runs, $100 - four runs, $ other amount – as many runs @ $25 as you wish.
