Could you be the reason someone else gets a second chance at life?
This DonateLife Week we want all Australians to register as organ and tissue donors and talk to their family about donation.
Already registered? There’s lots of other ways you can get involved in DonateLife Week, including:
- Attend an event in your local area
- Post about DonateLife Week on social media and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn. Don’t forget to like and share our posts, reels and stories with your networks
- Snap some photos of buildings, bridges and monuments lit up magenta for DonateLife Week, and tag us in your posts
- Download a digital banner and add it to your email signature
- Talk to your family and friends about organ donation and encourage them to register their decision on the AODR.
We know that 4 in 5 Australians say they support donation, but only 1 in 3 are registered on the Australian Organ Donor Register (AODR).
One organ donor can save the lives of up to 7 people and change the lives of many more through eye and tissue donation.
With over 1,800 people on the organ waitlist and 14,000 more on dialysis for kidney failure, it’s more important than ever to start a conversation about organ and tissue donation.
Your family will always be asked to support your decision before organ donation goes ahead. They are much more likely to agree if they know you want to be a donor.
