Morning Tea in the Prime Ministers private office with Felix Bulmer aged 17 years who benefited from a corneal graft, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who benefited from a heart valve transplant and Allan Turner who’s daughter Zaidee donated both her corneas and a heart valve with her kidneys, parts of her heart and liver as a donor.

Thursday 18th September 2008 in the private office of the Prime Minister after Mr Rudd read the new legislation bill in the House of Representatives for $151.1 million dollars to drive the need for more people to become organ and tissue donors. This amount of money has never been spent in the sector ever before.

The key features of the reform package include:

$67 million to fund dedicated organ donation specialist doctors and other staff in public and private hospitals;

$46 million to establish the authority, to be set up by 1 January 2009;

$17 million in new funding for hospitals to meet additional staffing, bed and infrastructure costs associated with organ donation.

$13.4 million to continue national public awareness and education;

$1.9 million for counselling for potential donor families;
and

Other significant measures including enhanced professional education programs, consistent clinical protocols, ‘clinical trigger’ checklists and data collection for organ transplants in hospitals.

I presented a gift of a pair of Zaidee’s Rainbow Shoelaces to Ms Quentin Bryce AC - The Governor General on her visit to Shepparton 22 October 2008. Who said she would give them to her Granddaughter for her shoes.

Zaidee’s Donor Kids Club card is a simple prompt to start the discussion about organ and tissue donation in families. This card has been developed as children under the age of 16 years are not able to register as organ and tissue donors since 2005 - they can still become donors even if they are not regisitered. If you wish to have a free card or cards sent to you please send a return stamp self address envelope - details in contacts.

We believe this is the first time in the history of AFL that all AFL goal umpire flags have been changed over to anything other than white.

All the field, boundary and goal umpires will also be wearing Zaidee’s Rainbow Shoelaces for this round as well.

This is a reflection of the great support the AFL and the Umpires have given Zaidee’s national campaign for organ and tissue donation awareness.
