AddressWho We Are
The National Blood Authority (NBA) is an Australian Government statutory agency whose role is to work in a collaborative manner with all Australian governments and blood sector stakeholders to ensure Australia's blood supply is safe, secure, adequate, and affordable.
We are a statutory agency established by the National Blood Authority Act 2003 (Cth). We operate to achieve the policy objectives outlined in the National Blood Agreement.
We manage and coordinate arrangements for the supply of blood, blood products and blood services in Australia. Under the national blood arrangements, our role is to deliver an uninterrupted supply of blood and blood products to Australians in need.
Being a small agency, employees at the NBA are in a unique position to influence decisions and outcomes for the blood sector and seeing the positive impacts of their work on users of blood products, blood related products and blood related services.
The NBA office is located on Northbourne Avenue in Lyneham and has recently undergone renovations to allow for modern, comfortable office space with the technology needed to collaborate effectively. The office is serviced by the Macarthur Avenue Light Rail stop and has onsite parking available.

The ability to establish and maintain stakeholder relationships and change management practices through effective communication, negotiation and issues management to ensure project deliverables are met is essential.
The Role
We are seeking a highly motivated and driven team player, who is keen to lead and enjoys working in a rapidly evolving and forward‑thinking environment.

The NBA’s core ICT business is to deliver systems that are responsive to patient needs, built on evidence-based clinical practice where necessary and supports all stakeholders to ensure Australia’s blood supply is safe, secure, adequate, and affordable now and in the future. A review of our current ICT environment has identified considerable digital modernisation is required to continue to support our corporate and operational priorities. By modernising our technology, we seek to attract new resources, to adapt to the growing and evolving demand in the blood sector and enhance our security posture. As a part of the Information Technology Services digital modernisation, we will uplift in Data Analytics capabilities, upgrade enterprise tools, modernise corporate capabilities, plan and deliver the future of Blood Sector systems, and more.
