Australia has demonstrated an unprecedented improvement in organ donation numbers in the first quarter of 2010. Data for the first two months of the year are available at our blog here.
Data for the entire quarter has been tabulated and is available in a report here. It compares monthly donors for January, February and March for the last ten years for the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Australia.
Further information about organ and tissue donations is available at the Australian & New Zealand Organ Donation Registry.
We pay tribute to the donor families who have discussed organ donation and made the decision for their loved ones to become organ donors. We also thank the clinical staff involved who provide outstanding care and support for these families.

Terry ConnollyJustice Terry Connolly died suddenly in the early morning of 25 September 2007 on Red Hill, having cycled to the top as part of his exercise routine. He was a Supreme Court Judge since 2003, and Master since 1996. Terry was the Member for Molonglo in 1990-1995 and served as the ACT Attorney-General and Minister in various portfolios, including Health. He and his family have lived in Canberra for many years and he was a popular Canberran. More importantly, Terry was a husband, father, son and, following his death, a tissue donor. Terry’s wife, Dr Helen Watchirs, says that she and Terry had discussed their wishes in relation to organ donation. This meant that at the dreadful time of death, she was clear on his wishes. Terry’s donation to the improvement of other lives has given Helen and his daughters a sense of contribution, and has helped make up for a life cut short. |
