Coffs Harbour City Council is lending its support to
organ and tissue donor programs.
Today, Council put on a registration and information session for staff, encouraging them to consider becoming an organ donor.
“probably a lot of us and I include myself until a couple of years ago I was unaware it’s no longer on your driver’s licence, you come in and register or you do it online.”
Not-for-profit organisation, Donate Life, says around 90 percent of the population supports organ donation – but only a quarter actually register.
we have a waiting list of over 1000 people who are waiting for transplants and we can’t always have as many donors as we need so what today is about is to encourage everyone in the community to register their wishes as to organ donation.
