Very few people can be an organ donor. Only around 2% of people who die in Australian hospitals meet the criteria required to be an organ donor. If you want to be an organ donor, register and make sure you tell your family, so you leave them certain about what you want.

Whether you’re chatting over a cuppa or hiking the Inca Trail in South America today, anytime is a good time to tell your family you want to be an organ donor.
