What is the Australian Organ Donor Register?
The Australian Organ Donor Register (AODR) was established in 2000 as a confidential list of all Australians who have registered as organ and tissue donors. The AODR is managed by Medicare Australia. Medicare Australia does not organise transplants and has no involvement in deciding who should receive organ or tissue transplants. If you die in circumstances where organ and tissue donation is possible, authorised medical personnel who have signed confidentiality agreements can access the AODR after your death and inform your family of your wishes.
