OrganMatch is a world class clinical transplant system that facilitates compatibility matching of recipients and donors for organ transplantation in Australia which launched in April 2019.
The Australian Government committed to fund a new matching system in Australia (2015 Budget measure) to replace the National Organ Matching System (NOMS), which had been in place since 1999.
We contract LifeBlood to manage, host and develop OrganMatch.
Key functions of the system include:
- national waitlist management
- organ matching and allocation of deceased organ donors
- Australia and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange Program (ANZKX)
- living donor organ transplants
- urgent listing of thoracic and liver recipients.
OrganMatch access is available to clinicians and transplant coordinators in Australia and New Zealand and to scientists from Australian transplantation and immunogenetics or state tissue typing laboratories. OrganMatch software access request forms are available on the Clinical forms and procedures webpage.
For further information on OrganMatch contact NationalOrganMatchOffice@redcrossblood.org.au or view details for the Laboratory Portal or Transplantation Portal.
