This year, 11 new DonateLife community partners will share in over $600,000 in grants to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation to ensure more Australians can receive a life‑saving transplant.
Supported by the Organ and Tissue Authority’s Community Awareness Grants, partners will create digital resources and content, host DonateLife Week events and deliver national marketing or public relations strategies that engage with Australian communities and prompt them to act.
The grant-supported activities will help to ensure more Australians discuss organ and tissue donation, tell their family if they want to be a donor, and importantly, register on the Australian Organ Donor Register.
While we know 4 in 5 Australians support donation, only 1 in 3 are registered.
Communicating to Australians who support donation in a culturally safe way, and addressing key barriers, will help close this intention-action gap.
