What is Thank You Day? 

Each year thousands of 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 thank you to those generous Australians and their families who make donation possible. 

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

Keep an eye on the Thank You Day page for downloadable resources. 

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.
