Leave a Legacy of Life:

A gift in your Will to Transplant Australia will help save lives and support families for generations to come.

Leave a Gift in Your Will

Leaving a gift in your Will to Transplant Australia is one of the most powerful ways you can make a lasting difference. Your generosity will help ensure more lives are saved through organ and tissue donation, and that transplant recipients and their families receive the support they need for years to come.

You can make a difference without impacting your current lifestyle. Whether your gift is large or small it will be gratefully received. Even 1% of your estate will make a valuable contribution towards a future where more Australians can receive the second chance of life they deserve.

Types of Gifts You Can Leave:

Residual Gift

After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to leave the remainder (or a percentage of the remainder) of your estate to Transplant Australia.

Percentage of Estate

A nominated percentage of your overall estate, regardless of its size, ensures your gift retains its value over time.

Specific Gift

You may choose to leave a specific sum of money, or a particular asset such as shares, real estate or other property.

Whole Estate

In some cases, supporters choose to leave their entire estate to Transplant Australia, making a truly extraordinary impact.

How Your Gift Will Help:

Your legacy will:

Support programs that increase organ and tissue donation across Australia.
Provide care, education and community support to transplant recipients and families.
Fund advocacy and awareness campaigns to ensure more lives are saved.
