The Australian Government, through the OTA, provides funding to state and territory governments to deliver donation services consistent with the national program. Each state and territory has a DonateLife agency; a clinical leadership team; and hospital-based medical and nursing donation specialist staff. Agency staff also include educators, communication officers, donor family support officers, and data and audit personnel. These teams are referred to as the DonateLife Network.
DonateLife Victoria coordinates all organ and tissue donation across the state. A team of dedicated medical and nursing specialists work within Victorian hospitals to provide professional services and encourage best practice to increase organ and tissue donation rates.
Staff at DonateLife Victoria also coordinate marketing and communications within the state, provide hospital and community education and support for Victorian donor families.
