ICT systems
We use several information and communications technology (ICT) systems to help us provide a safe, secure, affordable blood supply for all Australians.
We call these systems Blood Sector Systems, and many are world-leading.
We provide 24/7 support for these systems through our Blood Operations Centre (BOC).
BloodPortal
BloodPortal is a secure, central system that helps us manage and authenticate users across all Blood Sector Systems.
It allows users of any Blood Sector System to have a single username and password across all of our systems. It also gives users a single place to update account details or subscribe to Australian transfusion-related mailing lists.

Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry
The Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry (ABDR) database is a clinical tool for specialists who treat Australians with bleeding disorders. It aims to improve treatment results for those with bleeding disorders. It also helps the decision-makers responsible for clotting factor product supply to understand and plan for patient needs.
MyABDR app
MyABDR is a secure app and website for Australians with bleeding disorders, and their parents or caregivers. It is available for both Android and iOS devices.
The app allows you to record your home treatments and bleeds, and share information with your treatment provider. It also interfaces with our Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry (ABDR) database.
