Donated breast milk is in urgent demand due to new hospitals coming online in Canberra, Perth and Adelaide as well as hospitals in general ordering milk for premature babies. A call has been put out by Lifeblood for mothers in Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane to donate. The demand has risen by 15 per cent and is- expected to climb another 10 per cent in 2023.
