Eye Tissue Donation Awareness Week

11 July 2025

On the 21st – 25th of July, we’re highlighting Eye Tissue Donation Awareness Week in Aotearoa, a new awareness initiative from Organ Donation New Zealand (ODNZ) and The New Zealand National Eye Bank. The theme of the week is “Seeing the Opportunity”, emphasising the impact that one donation can make.

Over the course of Eye Tissue Donation Awareness Week, ODNZ will be hosting a range of events and materials including a webinar, case studies, some brand-new educational resources, and a workshop.

The week will conclude with a quiz, including a prize for the winning unit or individual.

Be sure to check out our updated Documents & Forms page featuring some brand-new eye tissue donation resources, found under the new "Tissue Only Donation" section.
