Organ donation

The Organ and Tissue Authority (OTA) works with states and territories, clinicians and the community sector to deliver the Australian Government’s national reform programme to improve organ and tissue donation and transplantation outcomes in Australia.

Eligibility

When a patient meets the criteria for organ donation a process unfolds that involves the families and friends of the patient, the medical teams, nursing staff, the social workers and organ donor coordinators.
