Find out your Blood Type and Register for OneMatch

What is ‘What’s Your Type’?

What’s Your Type is an interactive ABO blood typing experience. The whole process only takes a few minutes. When we are done, you’ll know your blood type. How cool is that!

What is OneMatch?

OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network is responsible for finding and matching volunteer donors for patients who require stem cell transplants. Fewer than 30 per cent of patients who need stem cell transplants find a compatible donor within their own families. The rest rely on those who have volunteered to donate stem cells to anyone in need.

What happens when I decide to join OneMatch?

We will book an appointment for you to submit a sample for HLA testing and your name will be added to the database. In the event that your name comes up as a likely match for a patient, we will contact you. At that point, it is up to you to decide whether you want to proceed to the next step.
