“The aim of everything I do is to increase awareness of the need for those Australians who wish to donate their organs to register on the Australian Organ Donor Registry and ensure they have a conversation with their families about their wishes. Only one in three Australians are registered donors despite the majority(69%) believing that registering is important.
There are more than 1,800 Australians currently waitlisted for a transplant and more than 14,000additional people on dialysis—many who may need a kidney transplant. Now more than ever, we need more Australians to say “yes” to organ donation.”
