Support Plasma for Life
Donate plasma, support IDFA’s $5,000 fundraising goal and help Australians living with immune deficiencies access the life-saving treatments they depend on.

This October, as part of International Plasma Awareness Week, the Immune Deficiencies Foundation Australia (IDFA) is bringing our Plasma for Life campaign to communities across Australia.

💙Help Us Reach Our $5,000 Goal
Your donation will support IDFA’s work to improve the lives of Australians living with primary and secondary immunodeficiencies.

Funds raised will help IDFA provide trusted information and practical support, raise awareness about immune deficiencies, advocate for better diagnosis and access to treatment and connect people and families affected by immune deficiencies.
Every donation helps IDFA continue this vital work.

🩸 Donate Plasma. Save Lives.
Every week, thousands of Australians rely on plasma-derived medicines to survive and live well.

These therapies are used to treat more than 50 serious medical conditions, including primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. For many people, immunoglobulin therapy isn't optional - it's essential.

Regular plasma donations are vital to ensuring there is enough plasma to manufacture these life-saving medicines.

If you're eligible, consider donating plasma this October and help support the people who depend on it.
