More than 40 extra blood donors are needed over the three-week visit, with the largest number needed on Thursday, December 16.
"We're asking locals who have never donated before or who haven't donated in a while to book a donation and save lives in December," Lifeblood spokesperson Stephanie Reynolds said.
"The need for blood is constant. Australian patients are relying on a steady blood flow to treat cancer, blood disorders, immune disorders and stem bleeding from childbirth, road trauma and emergency surgery."
Lifeblood will be located in Baker Street, adjacent to City Oval.
Bookings and masks are essential. To book visit lifeblood.com.au, download the free Donate Blood App, or call Lifeblood on 13 14 95.
