All PlusLife tissue grafts are donated in Australia. Nearly 15,000 grafts have been distributed for more than 8,500 patients since the bank was established.
PlusLife (Perth Bone & Tissue Bank) is a not-for-profit organisation that retrieves, processes and distributes donated human bone and tissue for transplant purposes. As a registered charity and the only bone bank in Western Australia, PlusLife provides an essential service to the health sector. 75% of grafts are distributed to benefit patients in Western Australian and approximately 25% is sent to interstate locations. Amongst the recipients are children and adolescents with spinal deformities, bone tumour patients (generally young people who have avoided amputation of a limb by receiving a graft); and many patients with arthritic joint disease caused by debilitating arthritis, whose mobility and general wellbeing has been improved by receiving bone grafts from PlusLife.

Tomorrow all eyes are on the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as our Fremantle Dockers run out in just their second Grand Final in club history.
At PlusLife, we're proud to be a West Australian organisation too — enhancing lives because of the generosity of everyday West Aussies, every single day.
Wishing our boys the very best.
LET'S GO FREO! IT'S WHARFIE TIME ⚓💜
"A great organisation, thank you for the opportunity to donate."
That is the feedback we've received from one of our generous donors who chose to donate their hip bone through our Living Donor Program — a decision made during a routine hip replacement that can change the lives of others in need.
Donated bone can be used to treat spinal deformities, dental and facial bone loss, and complex joint surgeries, among other things.

Did you know PlusLife runs two donation programs — a Deceased Donor Program and a Living Donor Program?
A deceased donor can help transform up to 20 lives, and a living donor can transform up to 5.
Most people think of hearts or kidneys when they hear "donation" — but bone and tissue donation can be just as life-changing, helping people rebuild their lives in ways many don't expect.

A conversation can change a life. We know that better than most.
Today is R U OK? Day — a reminder that checking in on someone you care about, and really listening to the answer, can make all the difference.
At PlusLife, we see the power of a conversation every day, just in a different way. Talking to your family about your donation wishes is one of those conversations that can change someone else's life completely.
This R U OK? Day, let's have the conversations that matter 🩷

We are very pleased to be back at the Australian Orthopaedic Association WA Annual Scientific Meeting, being held at the beautiful Pullman Bunker Bay Resort. We're looking forward to connecting with colleagues, catching up on the latest developments in orthopaedics, and being part of another great AOA WA event.
If you're attending, please stop by. We particularly welcome clinical input and the opportunity to discuss research and development opportunities. Our onsite Research Laboratory enables us to actively collaborate with clinicians and researchers and represents a significant investment in scientific infrastructure, purpose-engineered to support a broad spectrum of biomedical and life sciences research programs.
Turning a Routine Surgery Into a Life-Changing Gift 🙌
Did you know that during a routine hip replacement, you may be able to donate your femoral head?
This decision won't affect your surgery in any way — but the impact can be huge. Your donated bone could go on to support other patients undergoing procedures like bone tumour surgery or spinal surgery.
Being a donor is a rewarding, positive experience. And it's often as simple as saying yes.
Register today and help change someone's life for the better. Head to our website to find out more.

What a highlight it was attending the recent LifeSciencesWA Women in Life Sciences Lunch. Being in a room full of WA's brightest minds in research, biotech entrepreneurship and investment — all there to champion women in the sector — was such a privilege to be a part of.
The one line that has stuck with us is: A culture of active listening fosters patient-centred impact.
Big thanks to LifeSciences WA for hosting such a brilliant afternoon, and KE Select - Scientific & Medical Recruitment for thinking of us and getting us in the room. Events like this are what keep WA's life sciences community connected and thriving — we're already looking forward to the next one 🙏
It only takes one minute of your time to become someone's greatest gift. 🩷
