The Australian government is now operating in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions, pending the outcome of the 2025 federal election.
We provide grants and tenders to build support and help increase community awareness of organ and tissue donation.
Grants
Our grant programs support organisations and projects that encourage more Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation and register to be a donor. We know that increasing community awareness about donation results in more people saying yes to donation.
DonateLife Partnerships
We partner with a broad group of national organisations who help us increase our reach and engagement about organ and tissue donation in more Australian homes.
DonateLife Partnerships have been awarded to organisations in the sport, media and health care sectors as part of the 2020-21 Budget measure: Partnerships – Promoting Organ and Tissue Donation, providing funding of up to $4.0 million over four years from 2020-21 to 2023-24.

Community Awareness Grants
Our Community Awareness Grants support community-based awareness and education activities that contribute to increasing public understanding of and support for organ and tissue donation for transplantation. We want all Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation, register as donors, and discuss the importance of donation with their families.
2025 round
Community partners awarded grants through the 2025 DonateLife Community Awareness Grants program were announced in January 2025.
