For nearly 2000 Australians currently on the waiting list, organ transplant is a matter of life and death.


Highlights
  • COVID-19 continues to hinder chances of survival of those on the list. There is a 25 per cent decrease in donations since the start of the pandemic.
  • Donate Life is encouraging more Australians to register as organ donors.
  • To become a donor, a person needs to die in hospital, usually on a ventilator. Only around 2 per cent of people who die in hospital meet these requirements.
