The minimum age to donate is 16 years, however some state/territory legislation requires parental consent for donors aged 16 or 17 years before they are eligible to donate blood. If you are 16 or 17 years of age you must have parental consent to donate blood in: Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. A copy of the form can be downloaded here.
