Organ Donation

DonateLife Week was held from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 2 August 2026.

It is a public awareness week encouraging more Australians to support organ and tissue donation.   

Anyone in Australia aged 16 and over can register on the Australian Organ Donor Register to be an organ and tissue donor. It only takes one minute to register.  

Organ and tissue donation can save and change the lives of people who, in many cases, are seriously ill or dying. 

To read stories of people who have received donations, refer to Donation stories on the DonateLife website.
