Making a decision about organ and tissue donation after death

The booklet may also assist families thinking about organ and tissue donation following the death of a family member. If this is the case, health professionals caring for the patient can provide more detailed information specific to the particular situation.

This booklet is derived from Organ and Tissue Donation after Death, for Transplantation: Guidelines for Ethical Practice for Health Professionals, which was developed by the National Health and Medical Research Council in 2006.
