The Strategic Plan sets a four-year outlook for improving the rate of organ and tissue donation in Australia. It identifies the objectives, strategies and actions we will be undertaking to save and improve the lives of more Australians.
The plan has been developed in consultation with the DonateLife Network leadership team, state and territory health departments, and OTA staff; and endorsed by the OTA Board.

The plan also sets out the key focus areas for the next year. The five key areas of focus for 2018-19 are:
- Continue to evolve the clinical practice improvement program to ensure best donation practice. This includes enhancing the national education strategy to advance the capacity and capability of donation specialists and other clinical staff
- Enhance the performance reporting framework for the donation and transplantation sector to inform best practice
- Collaborate with states and territories to ensure the health system has the capacity and capability to support future growth and sustainability of donation and transplantation outcomes
- Implement OrganMatch in partnership with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service to maximise equity of access and clinical outcomes for transplant recipients
- Increase community awareness and support for donation and provide more opportunities for online registration on the Australian Organ Donor Register through third party platforms and partnerships.
