Give Hope this DonateLife Week

Residents across Shoalhaven are being urged to give hope and register as organ and tissue donors this DonateLife Week.

Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Rebecca White, is urging LOCALS to register and let their families know of their decision.

It comes as latest figures reveal just over 1 in 2 residents (54%) across the Shoalhaven LGA are signed up to the Australian Organ Donor Register.

CEO of the Organ and Tissue Authority, Lucinda Barry, says it only takes a minute for locals to register and they could save a life.
