Australia has more than doubled its organ donation rate in the last decade, but barriers about its importance still exist in some religious and culturally diverse communities.

Not a day goes by where Sydney's Udani family don't think about their son Deyaan.

His legacy also lives on through Saffron Day, held on Thursday, which aims to raise awareness among religious and culturally diverse communities about the importance of organ and tissue donation. Australia has more than doubled its organ donation rate in the last decade, but barriers still exist in some diverse communities.

He said his knowledge about organ donation grew after Deyaan and his older sister learned about it at school and following discussions with a local faith leader and doctor. "They were a very fit and healthy person," Mr Nallainathan, who is of Sri Lankan heritage, told SBS News. He said he was"very shocked" to learn it can take up to five years of being on a waiting list to receive a transplant from a deceased donor.

'I'm glad I didn't come home': Not all Aussies overseas are desperate to returnThere are four types of Australians who choose to live overseas. And despite a global pandemic, the data suggests most aren't rushing back. They have a fucking house in Hawaii. If they aren’t part of the group trying to return home, then why are they being interviewed on this issue? They even said it never crossed their mind. This is hurtful to those who are stuck with no means of income and trying to pay for accomodation and food. Most misleading click bait of the week lol... TLDR; people who moved overseas 5 years ago don’t want to come back
