At CSL, we actively support and participate in our communities to improve health outcomes and advance medical and scientific knowledge.

The health and quality of life of our patient communities are critically important to us. We sponsor initiatives that promote the exchange of information amongst our patient groups, contribute to educational resources, outreach programs and disease-awareness campaigns and support advocacy efforts related to our patient communities.

Much of the support we provide is delivered in partnership with non-profit organisations that are dedicated to serving the needs of our patient communities. Importantly, we work closely with experts and leaders in many specialties to understand and address issues related to the life-threatening conditions we seek to treat and prevent.

Health care providers play a critical role in the treatment and care of our patient groups, and enhance clinical practice and service delivery in our therapy and prevention areas. To this end, we support a range of professional education and development initiatives through medical societies and associations, universities, teaching hospitals and institutes.

In addition to the significant investment CSL makes in R&D, we support the academic research community in its endeavours to advance science and biomedical research. We sponsor orations, scientific meetings and symposia, fund scholarships, fellowships and professorial chairs and participate in post-graduate teaching, mentoring and industry groups.

At a broader community level, CSL supports both local and national causes through sponsorship, donations and product contributions. Our employees fundraise and volunteer for various charities and participate in payroll giving at some sites. CSL staff support the live-saving work of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service through voluntary blood donations.

CSL sites also conduct open house events for community leaders, patients and their families, run career days for local schools and host visits by industry and government. We liaise with our business and residential neighbours on matters of common interest and to enhance the environment we share.
