Industry Organisations
Plus Life (formerly Perth Bone & Tissue Bank Inc)
Perth Bone and Tissue Bank is a non-profit organisation that collects, screens, stores, and distributes donated human bone and tissue grafts for transplant purposes.
When undergoing hip replacement surgery, there is an opportunity to donate the piece of bone (femoral head), the Orthopaedic Surgeon must remove to fit the new hip prosthesis. This bone is routinely discarded, but with a patient’s permission, it may be donated to the Bone Bank and used for transplant purposes. Surgery requiring bone graft is common, and the demand for graft material continues to grow. It is frequently used for adolescents undergoing spinal surgery, joint revision, bone tumours, and bone defect repair. Femoral head donation does not in any way alter how surgery is performed but is completely voluntary. There is no age limit and no cost incurred by the patient.
For further information regarding donation, please contact our dedicated Donor Liaison staff on freecall number:Â 1800 801 997 or alternatively visit the website

The Carers Charter Factsheet (2022 – 2027)
This document outlines the Carers Charter, established under Western Australia’s Carers Recognition Act 2004, which acknowledges the vital role of carers in the community. The Carers Charter ensures that carers are treated with respect and involved in decision-making and that their needs are considered in the planning, delivering, and reviewing of services. It also guides how carers can raise complaints if services impacting them are unsatisfactory.
