Our Vision

Transplant Australia's vision is for Australia to lead the world in making organ and tissue transplantation available for all who need one - saving lives, minimising suffering and providing care and support.

Mission

Transplant Australia is a national organisation representing transplant recipients, dialysis patients, those awaiting transplants, living donors and donor families to foster longevity of donated life-giving organs and support the physical and emotional health of all recipients and donors.

Long Term Goals

• To raise awareness of the need for organ and tissue donation in Australia;
• To demonstrate to the public the improved quality of life and sporting prowess recipients enjoy following a transplant;
• To provide a support and advisory service (eg medical, financial and counselling) to members;
• To show gratitude to the families of organ and tissue donors;
• To continually excel as a dominant nation in World Transplant Sports;
• To encourage transplant recipients and those awaiting transplantation to participate actively in sport and recreational activities;
• To have included in the Australian way of life that organ and tissue donation and transplantation are national cultural values; and
• To reinforce the view that transplantation was the greatest medical beakthrough of the last century.
