DONATE LIFE WEEK 2021
DONATE LIFE
WEEK 2021
D
onate Life Week is celebrating its big annual initiative between 25th-1st August 2021. Donate Life is a health public awareness action which
aims to bring to promote and educate more awareness around organ and tissue donation.
The Donate Life Queensland movement offers support and care for donor families as well as widening informative discussions around donation.
Organ donation is lifesaving and varies time as between six months to four years. Almost 1600 people are currently waiting on the national wait list with more than 12,000 people registered. That is more than 1,600 people waiting for lifesaving organ transplants.
Everyone can become a donor, older Australians have donated after their death, and young people have also registered between 21 years and chose not to become an organ and tissue donor.
The number of people whose lives can be changed after the very final day of those in end-of-life.
The number of different transplants range from bone, corneal, skin grafting, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.
Organ donation can transform the lives of men and children, and those who live in regional and rural regions.
One of the new challenges, the COVID-19, has had a huge impact in delay and decrease in those receiving transplants and decrease the donor registration.
Donate Life Week 2020 recorded 463 organ donors which is a decrease when compared to 2019. This year the movement have asked Australians to add to this share awareness content online and to host their own events and encourage their own communities.
We do not have the stories around organ and tissue donation or those regarding design and death, but it does change lives. It is all up to the individual if they register and speak with your family and it all starts with a Yes by everyday Australians. First Nations people represent around 2.8% of the Australian population, however they represent a large portion impacted with worsening life expectancy. Donate Life Queensland is working in partnership with Indigenous organisations and communities.
The goal for the campaign is to encourage more Australians to register with the Organ Donor Register.
Donate Life Queensland are always in need of volunteers to assist in increasing awareness and community education.
With our nation on pause (lockdown) Donate Life Queensland can work with Community Champions and they offer a variety of digital health resources and awareness guides. These help families with cultural competence planning and themes for donor campaigns.
Community Champions are registered with Donate Life Queensland and receive training.
They may be community organisations (sports clubs), community individuals who seek to organise events in the form of sharing knowledge, arranging BBQs, handing out brochures and education at the events.
