During DonateLife Week (Sunday 27 July to Sunday 3 August 2025), landmarks and buildings across Australia will light up in vibrant magenta. This is to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation and inspire more Australians to register as organ donors.
No matter your photography style or experience, we’d love to see and share your photos. Just head out to one of the light-up locations in your state or territory (listed below), capture the moment and share your snaps on socials.
Don’t forget to use the hashtags #DonateLifeWeek2025 and #DLW25 and tag us – we’re on Facebook at DonateLife and Instagram @DonateLifeToday.
We’ll be resharing our favourite photos from across the country during and after DonateLife Week – so keep an eye out!
Please note that scheduled light-ups can be subject to last-minute changes. Please contact your local DonateLife Agency if you would like to confirm a light-up on a particular date.

Please note that all monument light-ups are active from dusk on the date indicated to dawn the following day, unless otherwise noted.
