Organ Donor Awareness Week€¦ · Organ and tissue donation transforms lives. One donor can transform the lives of up to 10 people and significantly improve the lives of many more

'Make your wish count’ during DonateLife Week 2013.

Organ and tissue donation transforms lives. One donor can transform the lives of up to 10 people and significantly improve the lives of many more.

Many Australians do not know that less than 2% of people will die in hospital in the specific circumstances where organ donation is even possible – although many more people can become tissue donors. The majority of people are more motivated to decide about becoming an organ and tissue donor when they learn how few people can actually become organ donors.

So that’s why we all need to talk about it during DonateLife Week. That’s why we all need to decide whether we want to become an organ and tissue donor. And to make every wish count, every Australian family needs to know each other’s wishes.

This is because in Australia the family of every potential donor is always asked to confirm the donation wishes of their loved one before organ and/or tissue donation can proceed.

In DonateLife Week, we are asking all Australians to discover, decide and discuss organ and tissue donation so that their family can make their wish count, should the situation arise. For more information visit www.donatelife.gov.au
