Western Australia would be the first state in Australia to initiate opt-out organ donor laws, if a new proposal underway in the state is successfully passed. At the current point of time the only such law in Australia is an opt-in program, in which a person has to opt-in, in order to automatically donate their organs after death.

At the current point of time, there are only 16% people living in Western Australia, who are a part of the national organ donor register. If the proposal is passed, then all Western Australians would have to automatically donate their organs for transplant, until unless they sign an opt-out form to withdraw their consent from organ donation.
