VIDEO: THE GREAT REGISTRATION RACE FOR DONATELIFE WEEK

I’m joining The Great Registration Race for DonateLife Week

Right now in Australia, there are about 13 million people eligible to register as organ and tissue donors, but they haven’t signed up. Are you one of them?

There are around 1,800 Australians currently waiting for an organ transplant.

As Minister for Regional Health I am proud to be taking part in The Great Registration Race for DonateLife Week to help turn this around.

Throughout July and August, and with a big push during DonateLife Week, we’re encouraging everyone to check you’re registered.

The more people who sign up as organ and tissue donors – the more lives that can be transformed. REGISTER TODAY
