To know that he has saved the lives of two people is wonderful.

My son passed away very suddenly. He died within 24 hours of a Grade V subarachnoid haemorrhage (a cerebral aneurysm). He left behind two children aged five and three, a wife, mother, father and sister who miss him greatly.

He was an organ donor and we have received two letters from the people that he gave his liver and kidney to. It is nice to know that both are doing well. It was a very hard call at the time but to know that he has saved the lives of two people is wonderful.

Thank you

We want all Australians to talk about organ and tissue donation. If you want to be a donor, make sure you tell your family and friends.

Registering is easy and only takes one minute. All you need is your phone, Medicare card and one minute to register.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, your medical history, your lifestyle, what country you’re from or how healthy you are — you can still register as an organ and tissue donor.

The Organ and Tissue Authority acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
