1. Make a Monetary Donation

Each year the generosity of Australians enables Transplant Australia Limited to continue to support people who are currently undergoing dialysis treatment, transplant recipients, those awaiting transplantation, and their families. It is very important to recognise the generosity of family members of deceased donors and living donors, and Transplant Australia achieves this in part through recognition and acknowledgement events.

As more people are touched by the need for organ and tissue transplantation, Transplant Australia is dedicated to raising awareness for the need for organ and tissue donation.

While much is being achieved imagine how much more we could do if all who used our resources made a tax-deductible donation.

Transplant Australia Limited is a registered charity and donations are tax-deductible.

Please help us by making a donation today. Donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible. We issue receipts for donations of $5 or more, amounts below this are receipted on request. M

 Set up regular donations by direct debit

By making a regular tax-deductible donation using direct debit from your bank account, you can help us keep donation process costs to a minimum. To further assist you can request one annual receipt. Regular giving also assists us in effectively planning our future, ensuring greater certainty for critical programs.

 Celebration

You may choose to nominate Transplant Australia Limited as the recipient of a donation in lieu of giving or receiving gifts. Simply forward your tax-deductible donation with full details of the occasion to us, and the recipient will receive an acknowledgement card passing on your kind message for their special day. Naturally, the amount of the gift is not stated unless particularly requested.

 Donate through your workplace

Consult with your employer and ask for a payroll deduction to be made from your salary direct to Transplant Australia Limited. Deductions are made from salary before tax. Some generous employers match employee contributions.

Your financial commitment to Transplant Australia enables future generations to gain major benefits from your legacy.

5. Donate in memory of a loved one

Firstly, may we offer our sincere condolences if you are selecting this type of support.

A gift in lieu of flowers at the funeral of a loved one or friend is a most rewarding way to honour their memory. By encouraging those who attend the service to donate, the life of your deceased loved one will be honoured and valuable support and awareness will be able to continue.

Please ask your Funeral Director to contact us to provide envelopes for the service, or contact us directly.
