HOW TO BE AN ORGAN DONOR

06 April 2009

Transplant Australia is proud to partner with Hallmark to promote organ and tissue donation.

More than one life is lost each week waiting for a transplant.

More than 1,700 Australians are currently on the transplant waiting list.

Over the past 20 years Australia has on average just 200 organ donors each year.

This places us well behind comparable countries.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

If you believe in organ and tissue donation encourage your family and friends to discuss donation.
-Talk to your family, friends and loved ones about your wishes.
-This knowledge will help your family to confirm your wish to donate.

Make sure your decision is recorded on the Australian Organ Donor Register.
