The National Blood Authority is responsible for ensuring the supply of blood and blood products for patient care. This includes immunoglobulin (Ig) products.
Immunoglobulin is a fractionated blood product. Manufacturers make Ig products from donated plasma (the fluid part of human blood).
We manage the supply of Australia's government-funded Ig products under the National Blood Agreement.
Learn more about how we manage access to Australia's immunoglobulin supply.
Government-funded Ig products
All blood products funded under the national blood arrangements are listed in the National Product Price List. Learn more about the Ig products that are publicly funded.
