## TL;DR

Australia's national blood stem cell donor registry, formerly called Strength to Give and the ABMDR. It recruits donors and links Australian patients with donors overseas, and overseas patients with Australian donors.

## Summary

Stem Cell Donors Australia, formerly known as Strength to Give and ABMDR, manages Australia's blood stem cell donor registry. It recruits volunteer donors across Australia, aiming for a registry that reflects the population's diversity, manages donors' data, partners with registries abroad in both directions, and supports a matched donor through further testing to delivery of the cells. As a WMDA member it follows international standards for donor care and product quality, and it says that many communities are under-represented on the registry, which makes a match harder for some patients.
