What is Jersey Day?

Each Jersey Day, we ask Australians to wear their favourite sporting jersey and have a conversation with family and friends about organ and tissue donation.

Jersey Day was inspired by 13-year-old Nathan Gremmo, who gave the gift of life to 6 people when he became an organ donor.

Jersey Day is all about raising awareness. It’s fun, free, and you could help save a life by registering as an organ and tissue donor and telling your family and friends. 

How to get involved

1. Pop on your favourite jersey (or a Jersey Day jersey). 

2. Take a photo or video in your jersey. 

3. Post it on social media and tag @jerseydayau and use the hashtags #jerseydayau #donatelife. 

4. Spread the word about organ and tissue donation in your caption. Some examples: 

  • ‘Jersey Day is the perfect opportunity to start a discussion with your loved ones about organ donation’ 
  • ‘I’m wearing my favourite sporting jersey for Jersey Day, to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation’. 

5. Have a conversation with your friends and family about organ and tissue donation.

For more information, visit the Jersey Day website.

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.
