can you sell a kidney in australia

Nope—your spare parts aren’t a classifieds listing. In Australia, selling a kidney is illegal under state and territory Human Tissue laws, and any payment for organs is banned; only genuine, voluntary donation is allowed. Hospitals may reimburse reasonable donation expenses, but no “cash for kidneys,” no crypto, no gift cards—nothing of value. Paired kidney exchange programs exist to help compatible matches without money changing hands. Trying to buy or sell organs (even overseas) can attract serious criminal penalties and spectacularly bad life choices. If you’re considering donation, speak with DonateLife or your doctor; if you’re considering commerce, don’t.
