DonateLife Week 2026

DonateLife Week (Sunday 26 July to Sunday 2 August) is our major public awareness week encouraging more Australians to support organ and tissue donation.  

This DonateLife Week, we want all Australians to register as organ and tissue donors and be the reason someone else gets a second chance at life.  

Help us spread the word about organ and tissue donation by getting your local sports club, workplace, café or business, friends, family, school and community involved. 

To find out what's happening in your state or territory and how you can get involved, reach out to your local DonateLife agency.

Tell your story

If you've been touched by organ and tissue donation, you can share your story using our online form. 

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.
