Welcome to DonateLife’s Facebook page, we’re glad you are here. DonateLife is the official Facebook page of the Organ and Tissue Authority.
The role of The Authority is to establish a nationally coordinated approach to organ and tissue donation for transplantation, in partnership with states, territories, clinicians, consumers and the community.
Our vision is to implement a world's best practice approach to organ and tissue donation for transplantation, and to work in concert with state and territory governments to improve access by Australians to life-saving and life-transforming transplants.

House Rules
Most Australians support organ and tissue donation. In Australia the family is always asked to confirm the donation wishes of the potential donor before donation can proceed. That is why it is important that every family asks and knows each other’s wishes.
This page is a place for all Australians to discuss organ and tissue donation and we encourage you to share your story, experiences, leave comments, and share your photos, videos and links to relevant content. This is also a place to talk to us, ask us questions and learn more about organ and tissue donation.
We expect that participants post content and commentary that is both relevant and respectful to this community. We welcome all questions, comments and feedback. However, it is important to note that we will not tolerate posts that are:
• Offensive, divisive, aggressive, abusive, defamatory or intolerant
• Fraudulent, deceptive, misleading or unlawful
• Trolling, deliberately derailing discussions or posting multiple versions of the same view to the forum
• Unrelated or off-topic
• Violates the intellectual property right of another individual or entity
• Spamming in nature
• Commercial solicitation or solicitation of donations
• Uses obscene or offensive language
We respectfully request that posts that focus on fundraising or sale of products are not posted on the DonateLife Facebook page.
Comments will be deleted if they break these rules, or Facebook’s Terms of Use. Users who repeatedly break these rules may be banned from the page.
The Australian Government and Facebook have strict guidelines on discrimination and intimidation. Therefore we take a strong stance on deleting content which is discriminatory, hateful or threatening and actions which may offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate
In short, we encourage you to have open and honest discussions whilst being respectful of your fellow community members.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
