I just got a message from Medicare inviting Me to register as an organ donor. I thought I already was. I remember ticking the organ donation box when I first applied for My drivers license.
If I’d have died in the last few years, My organs wouldn’t have saved any lives. Who knows how many other people want to donate but aren’t registered? I think Australia should have an opt-out system instead of an opt-in system, so that people don’t need to make an effort in order to do the right thing. Doing the right thing should be easy.
As an FYI you can also check on Medicare if you have it linked to MyGov and/or on the Medicare App. (If it works for you). Can even Register to be an organ donor on there if you haven’t before.
