Today – 22 October 2025 – we join with Australians everywhere to observe Saffron Day, a day of powerful meaning and hope.

Saffron Day was founded in honour of young Deyaan Udani, whose decision and legacy as an organ and tissue donor continue to save lives and inspire.

At Donor Tissue Bank of Victoria, we stand in solidarity with this mission. We celebrate the incredible gift of donation – the gift of second chances, renewed life, and stronger communities.

We invite everyone to:

✅ Register your decision to become an organ and tissue donor.
🧡 Wear something orange – saffron is a symbol of strength, courage and the selfless act of giving.
👪 Talk with your loved ones about your decision. Your family’s awareness makes a life-saving difference.

Every year in Australia, thousands of people are on waiting lists, hoping for the gift of life. By registering your donor decision and having that conversation, you become part of something bigger – you become hope.

Thank you to all donors and their families for your courage and kindness. And thank you to the communities across Victoria and the nation who help carry this message forward.

Together, we can transform today into a gesture with a legacy.
