For those grieving the loss of a family member, immediately deciding whether to donate the organs of their loved ones can be confronting and stressful.
That's why - at the start of Donate Life Week - Australians are being encouraged to register as organ and tissue donors, to potentially save the lives of many others.
Currently there are around 1,800 Australians waiting for an organ transplant, and a further 14,000 on dialysis for kidney failure.
Data from DonateLife shows 4 in 5 Australians support donation, but just one in three are registered to be donors.
It's led to a plea at the start of DonateLife Week, for Australians to register as donors, so their families aren't left to make a difficult decision.
