Our vision is saving and improving Australian lives through a world-class blood supply. The National Blood Authority (NBA) was established by the National Blood Authority Act 2003 (NBA Act) following the National Blood Agreement being signed by all Australian Health Ministers in 2002. As a material statutory agency, the NBA has a range of corporate and compliance responsibilities under the NBA Act, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and the Public Service Act 1999. In addition, it is responsible for meeting ministerial, parliamentary and financial reporting requirements.
