Sunday 17 November is Thank You Day – an important day in the DonateLife calendar to acknowledge those who make organ and tissue donation possible.
Each year, thousands of lives are saved and transformed through the generosity of deceased and living organ and tissue donors, and their families.
In Australia, your family is always asked to consent before donation goes ahead. In 2023, 793 families said yes to donation, giving an incredible gift to others during a very difficult time for themselves.
Join us in acknowledging Thank You Day this year. On Sunday 17 November, post a photo or video of yourself making a heart with your hands on social media and share your message of thanks. Don’t forget to tag DonateLife and use the hashtag #ThankYouDay.
In the lead up to Thank You Day, we’ll be sharing stories from those who have had a transplant on our social media accounts about what Thank You Day means to them.
We’ve also prepared some downloadable content and graphics to help you spread the word about Thank You Day.
