DonateLife Thank You Day

Each year many Australian lives are saved and transformed through the generosity of organ and tissue donors and their families.

DonateLife Thank You Day is a national day to reflect and say thanks to those generous Australians and their families who make donation possible.

Thank You Day 2024 will be held on Sunday 17 November.

You can take part in Thank You Day by sharing a thank you message on social media channels and by spreading the word about the day with your networks.

How can I get involved?

Resources coming soon.

Register your event

If you are organising a DonateLife Thank You Day event, let us know what you are doing by registering your event.

Share your story

If you have received an organ or tissue donation, we invite you to inspire others to register as organ donors by sharing your experience on our website and social media channels. Submit your story and read some of the inspiring stories of others.

We want all Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation. If you want to be a donor, make sure you tell your family and friends.

Registering is easy and only takes one minute. All you need is your phone, Medicare card and one minute to register.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, your medical history, your lifestyle, what country you’re from or how healthy you are — you can still register as an organ and tissue donor.

The Organ and Tissue Authority acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
