Abstract
After 5 years of establishing the first dedicated ITx program in Australia and New Zealand, early results indicate that ITx is an available and life-saving option for IF patients in these countries. Current barriers to ITx in Australia include a shortage of appropriate donors and a high rate of donor-specific antibodies among potential recipients. Growing awareness of the service and early referral to assist appropriate patient selection will aid in the program's success.
