If you are aged 16 or over and want to donate your organs and tissues for transplant after death, you can register your decision online with the Australian Organ Donor Register.
You will need your Medicare card to register online.
You can also check if you’re already registered as a donor.
To register, or check if you are registered, to donate organs and tissues visit the Australian Government DonateLife website.
Your family will need to provide consent before donation can go ahead so remember to discuss your decision with family and close friends.
