DonateLife 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 thanks to those generous Australians and their families who make donation possible. 

Thank You Day 2025 is held on Sunday 16 November. 

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.
