Make a Lifesaving Difference on Your Campus!
Join our university ambassador program
Our university ambassador program is launching in 2025, and we want you to help it grow!
We’re looking for passionate volunteers to lead a peer-to-peer donor recruitment program on campus, inspiring others to become life-saving stem cell donors. This is a unique opportunity to get involved with a lifesaving mission and develop key skills along the way.
Make a difference. Build your skills. Shape your future.

Why we need you
Stem Cell Donors Australia runs the country’s registry of volunteer stem cell donors. For many patients with blood cancers and disorders, a blood stem cell transplant from an anonymous donor is a last-resort treatment that could cure their illness.
Younger stem cell donors give patients the best chances of survival post-transplant. That’s why we need thousands of young Australians, aged 18-35, to join us every year!
What's involved?
As a member of our university ambassador team, you’ll be at the forefront of this mission. You and a group of ambassadors from your university will plan and deliver events on campus that help spread the word and grow the registry.
Whether you’re organising on-campus donor recruitment events, promoting them through social media, engaging student groups, or handling logistics behind the scenes, your work will directly contribute to getting more young Australians on the registry.
Our team will support you every step of the way with:
- Comprehensive training – Learn from our international colleagues and gain skills in project planning, event management, and marketing.
- Ongoing mentorship – Get guidance from experienced mentors to help you develop confidence and make an impact.
- Regular peer catch-ups – Connect with fellow ambassadors across the country, share ideas, and collaborate on strategies.
- Resources and promotional materials – We’ll provide everything you need to run successful recruitment campaigns, from marketing templates to event kits.
