Your Comeback Starts Here

Transplant Australia’s Women & Girls Comeback Program

Every comeback begins with one brave step. The Transplant Australia Women’s and Girls Comeback Program, supported by the Australian Department of Health Play Her Way Grant, is designed to specifically help women and girls return to movement and active lifestyles with confidence, support and a renewed sense of possibility post a transplant journey – be that being a recipient and/or the carer of a recipient. 

A comeback is about more than sport

After transplant, returning to a “normal” life and getting active again can feel like a big step. Confidence may be low. Questions about safety can hold people back. Finding the time if busy schedules while caring for others can seem insurmountable.  

The Comeback Program exists to help women and girls move forward with encouragement, practical support and a community that understands the journey. 

Who this program is for

  • Women and girls living with a transplant.
  • Women and girls caring for a family member pre and/or post-transplant. 
  • Families and supporters looking for guidance and support.
