Australian Organ Donor Register. Organ donors A person may be able to donate organs when they have been declared brain dead in an intensive care unit in hospital. Brain death is when blood flow to the brain stops. The brain stops functioning and dies with no possibility of recovery. A series of tests carried out by 2 independent and qualified senior doctors confirms that brain death has occurred. People are sometimes confused about the difference between brain death and being in a coma.

Organ donation may also be possible after a person’s heart has stopped beating, referred to as cardiac death, but this is less common. Tissue donors More people have the opportunity to donate tissue than organs. Unlike organs, tissue may be stored for a period of time and tissue donation does not require the donor’s death to have occurred under the same limited circumstances as organ donation.
