Based in Melbourne, CSL Bioplasma delivers contract plasma fractionation services and commercial plasma-derived therapeutics throughout the Asia Pacific (except Japan).


Contract plasma fractionation services are provided from our fractionation facility in Australia under long-standing agreements with the Governments and blood services of Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. Our regional office in Hong Kong, now supported by offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, drives business in China, Taiwan, South Korea and South Asia.

CSL Bioplasma has been Australia’s national fractionator since 1952 and this relationship continues today under our five-year (2005-2010) Plasma Products Agreement (PPA) with the Australian Government, an agreement which is now managed by the National Blood Authority. The contractual arrangements under the PPA ensure Australia retains control over the quality, safety and supply of its plasma-derived therapeutics.

Under regulatory control of Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration, CSL Bioplasma works very closely with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service and the regional blood services supplying plasma for fractionation into a range of products. The voluntary, non-remunerated plasma donations that we receive from each of these blood services remain strictly separated at every stage from receipt, through fractionation, to storage and distribution.

The chromatographic fractionation processes developed by CSL Bioplasma’s scientists and engineers extract high purity plasma-derived therapeutics including intravenous immunoglobulin and Factor VIII – von Willebrand factor concentrate. We use innovative processes to recover the highest yields from each donation.

CSL Bioplasma offers a broad range of products, customised toll manufacturing to blood services throughout our region, and strong client support through our presence in key markets.
