AODR statistics
The Australian Organ Donor Register is administered by Medicare Australia on behalf of the Australian Government and provides a simple way for people to record their consent (or objection) to becoming an organ and/or tissue donor for transplantation. The purpose of the national register is to help raise the profile of organ donation in Australia. It is intended to make people more aware of organ donation, which is expected to lead to an increase in the number of individual donors in Australia.
The tables below hold the number of people who have registered their decision in regard to organ and tissue donation on the Australian Organ Donor Register by age group, state and gender.
