Townsville Sport and Community Weekend

This unique Transplant Australia event is a great way to connect with other transplant recipients, people waiting for a transplant and their families in a supportive environment. A great opportunity to build sporting skills, learn and participate in physical activity that is all inclusive.

Join us to learn at our education session, hear of the experience of others who have had a transplant, show our respect and care at the Donate Life Remembrance Service, refine your abilities, get expert guidance, and enjoy the journey of learning and growth through sport.
