Private Sector Updates – Statewide

Lifeblood Australia

Lifeblood has informed the ANMF they are proposing to change the pay cycle of all employees, so it is consistent across the organisation. This will mean some employees will have a smaller, one week pay, (due for payment on Wednesday 15 July 2026), before the next full fortnight pay cycle commences 13-26 July 2026 with an expected pay date of Wednesday 29 July 2026. Lifeblood has developed a FAQ document for employees to access as well as Q&A sessions so you may ask any question not answered in the FAQ. If you believe this will have a major impact on you, please contact the ANMF so we can follow this up with Lifeblood on your behalf.

Updates are correct as of 8 April 2026.
