“We congratulate these award winners and look forward to seeing their ongoing positive contribution to the community. With CSL’s support, they will be able to expand their reach and deepen their impact across Australia’s health sector," said Bernadette Murdoch, CSL’s Global Head of Reputation.

CSL, a global biotech company, makes medicines for serious and rare conditions, as well as vaccines. The
CSL Community Impact Award program launched earlier this year.

“For over a century, CSL has been committed to improving the lives of our patients and donors, and safeguarding public health. The CSL Community Impact Awards highlight our dedication to community health and our support of innovative health initiatives," said Jeffrey Ball, CSL’s Chief Sustainability Officer.

As part of the awards, three organisations – CF Together, the Danny Frawley Centre and Kidney Health Australia – have received CSL scholarships to undertake a leadership program at the Melbourne Business School. The program equips not-for-profit leaders who have little or no prior business management training, with the skills to lead their teams to generate social impact and financial sustainability for their organisation.
