I've created a new paragraph style, but when I open a new document, the paragraph style is no longer in the styles draw. I then have to recreate it, but the same thing happens again when I create a new blank doc. Anyway to stop this from happening?

Solved this. Created the para style, then saved the whole doc as a template. Now when I open the saved template, the para style is there. Bit annoying you can't just save the para style to work with any template, including blank, but never mind.

To clarify for others. Creating and changing styles can only be save on document level. To get it it a new document you have to create a custom template just as Rhys did.
You can import and replace any styles you want from other documents, but templates are templates. That is what they are for.
Styles are document specific for a reason. Imagine the fun and games if the styles in one document changed the behavior of same name style in other unopened documents. You would be chasing your tail forever.
Someone would send you a file and it would inexplicably change layout and appearance just because your styles didn't match.

How do you save a newly created paragraph style?
