Whether you’re raising funds to cover your registration, travel, accommodation, uniforms or training costs, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Creating a personal fundraising page is a simple way to share your transplant journey and invite your family, friends, workplace and community to help you get to the Games.

How to Claim Your Funds

This helps streamline the reimbursement process and ensures you receive your funds as quickly as possible.
Fundraising for the Australian Transplant Games can continue up until the event – 26 September 2026.
We encourage participants to start early to maximise their fundraising opportunities and help cover Games-related costs.
