3 statements from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee about COVID-19. On this page: AHPPC has been approached by the Transplant Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) regarding the recommencement of kidney transplantation in Australia.

TSANZ has noted the significant reduction in community spread COVID-19 and the pleasing resumption of elective surgery in Australia, as announced by National Cabinet.

TSANZ now believes a cautious recommencement of kidney transplantation is warranted. TSANZ believes that deceased donor transplantation and living donor transplantation should be safe to recommence on clinical grounds as the balance of risk from the virus versus clinical benefit sits now in favour of transplantation.
