DonateLife Ambassadors
Meet our DonateLife Ambassadors
The DonateLife Ambassador Program aims to build Australians' awareness of the need for family members to discuss and know each other's donation wishes. The program helps to dispel the myths around organ and tissue donation, raise the profile of the DonateLife campaign in a variety of circles and help attract media attention to the cause of organ and tissue donation.
Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia is the first inaugural DonateLife Ambassador. Her Excellency encourages all Australians to have memorable discussions about their organ and tissue donation wishes with those close to them.
