About Us

Transplant Australia exists to enrich and celebrate life. Our vision is for Australia to lead the world in organ and tissue donation and transplantation – saving lives, improving quality of life and providing much needed care and support.

Our members share a special bond, having all been touched in some way by transplantation. They include those awaiting transplantation, donor families, living donors, transplant recipients, and the doctors, nurses and co-ordinators working in the organ and tissue donation and transplantation sector.

While they have their own unique story to tell, they are part of a team that serves to celebrate and cherish the greatest gift of all – life itself.

Transplant Australia works in the areas of advocacy, awareness and support. Our objectives are to:

Increase the rate of organ and tissue donation;
Improve the community’s understanding of transplantation;
Provide our members with support, education and guidance to improve their health and quality of life
