Organ and Tissue Donation

There are almost 1,400 people in Australia on waiting lists for organ donation at any given time. By registering to become an organ donor you could be making the greatest gift one human being can give another – the gift of life.

People 16 years of age or older can register to donate their organs and tissue. You must register with the Australian Organ Donor Register. This is the only national register for people to record their decision. It can be verified 24 hours a day, seven days a week by authorised personnel anywhere in Australia. The old NSW driver's license system is no longer valid.

Most importantly tell your family or carer of your decision.
