The Australian community is an essential partner of our organ and tissue donation program. This is because organ and tissue donation only occurs through the support and goodwill of the community. Without a donor and their family willing to donate, many people who need a transplant will not receive one.
We actively engage with a broad range of stakeholders across the community to convert public support into action, by encouraging more Australians to decide if they want to be a donor. This results in more Australian families talking about and registering to be a donor.
