DonateLife

More than most, we know the effects organ donation can have on a recipients’ life, but all too often the conversation around a person's wishes to donate isn't discussed.

So let’s talk about organ donation registration

With many Australians on the waitlist for a lifesaving transplant, every new registration counts.

Registration is important and so is having a conversation about it. 

Did you know?

• In 2018, 9 out of 10 families agreed to donation when their family member was on the donor register. 
• Consent for donation was given in 7 out of 10 cases when the family had prior knowledge of their loved one’s wishes. This dropped to 5 out of 10 families agreeing to donation when the family was unaware of their wishes.
• More than 1,400 Australians are today on waitlists for a life-saving or life-transforming transplant with a further 11,000 people on dialysis of whom many would benefit from a kidney transplant.

If you are willing to one day save lives by becoming an organ and tissue donor, please register and discuss your decision with your family and friends.
