Welcome to our special Spring edition of Australian Mosaic. This issue, Engaging CALD Communities in Organ and Tissue Donation Discussions, is a result of a Community Awareness Grant received by FECCA from the Organ and Tissue Authority (OTA). The aim of this grant is to encourage culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community leaders to initiate conversations on organ and tissue donation in their communities.
Organ and Tissue donation is an incredibly important topic to discuss in all of Australia’s communities. The gift of saving a life is a completely altruistic gift that most Australians (67%) are willing to give. Numbers show how one person can save the lives of ten or more people by donating organs.
