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.

All blood products funded under the national blood arrangements are listed in the National Product Price List(Opens in a new tab/window). Learn more about the Ig products that are publicly funded.

Regulation by the TGA
