We are responsible for collecting and reporting data on the performance of Australia’s national program for coordinating organ and tissue donation for transplantation.
Our data is routinely analysed to inform discussions with our DonateLife teams and relevant state and territory health departments to make ongoing improvements in practice. This includes continuing to evolve our dashboard reporting to drive clinical best practice across DonateLife hospitals and provide further opportunities for growth in donation and transplantation.
An ongoing priority for us is to expand the breadth of data and increasing data analytics and reporting to inform decision making and drive improvements to support the donation, retrieval and transplantation sector to save and improve the lives of more Australians.
We work closely with Australian donation and transplant outcomes registries to ensure accurate data on donation and transplant activity is available to clinical stakeholders and the general public. These registries include:
Annual outcomes
Early each year, we release our annual data outcomes and publish a donation and transplantation activity report for the previous calendar year.
2020 outcomes
2020 was a challenging year for the national program, with COVID-19 having a direct impact on organ and tissue donation and transplant programs in Australia. Our DonateLife teams worked hard with transplant teams to navigate the challenges facing our hospitals and with logistics — including with COVID-19 restrictions, flight reductions and border closures — so that patients received the best possible outcomes.
