DonateLife Week 2020 is Sunday 26 July to Sunday 2 August.

This DonateLife Week, we encourage more Australians to register to be an organ and tissue donor, and to have a chat about it with their family and friends. While the majority of Australians believe it’s important to be an organ and tissue donor, only one in three are registered!

If you’re a registered donor or become a registered donor during DonateLife Week have a chat with your friends, family and colleagues and encourage them to sign up too.

What is DonateLife Week?

We want to inspire all Australians to make a real difference to the lives of others by registering and telling their family they want to be a donor.

So every year we run DonateLife Week! A national awareness week dedicated to promoting organ and tissue donation.

Across Australia, DonateLife agencies and our community stakeholders help spread the word about the life changing gift of organ and tissue donation.
