The new registration process is going to be vitally important in making a difference to those online donor rates—those online donor registrations.

The registration process will now be a one-stop online process. Currently, the process is two-step, where people go online but then they also have to do a paperwork part of that process. That is stopping many Australians from registering. We have around 6.1 million Australians who registered their intent to be a donor and only 1.8 million of those have completed the process to become a donor. So it is vitally important that we get this faster, simpler process up and running.

It will clearly show the intent of the donor and it will also trigger that conversation with family and with loved ones that we know is so important when it comes to that moment when organ donation needs to be supported by family members and loved ones.
